Scope and Content

This collection is a set of matted exhibit prints from a 1988 exhibition presented by the Texas Photographic Society. It consists of five photographs by each of 25 Texas documentary photographers. Of the 125 photographs, 120 are of people and five are landscapes. The main focus is on everyday life and the individual and collective ways in which diverse ethnic groups of Texans reflect both continuity and changes occurring in their lives in the latter part of the 20th century.

Collection is arranged alphabetically by photographer and format. See published catalog entry for names of individual photographers. Catalog text is in English and Spanish.

The exhibit from which these photographs came was co-curated by Roy Flukinger of the University of Texas Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center and Rick Williams of the University of Texas Journalism Department.
