| Creator Abstract: | The Institute
of Texan Cultures (ITC), a museum and campus of the University of Texas at San
Antonio, was established in 1965 by the 59th Texas Legislature. Its first
director was R. Henderson Shuffler, who served as director from 1965-1975.
Originally housing the Texas Pavilion at HemisFair '68, it was designed to
study the ethnic groups that settled in Texas. In addition to its 50,000 square
feet of exhibits featuring twenty-seven cultures and ethnic groups, the
institute hosts the Texas Children's Festival, Pioneer Sunday, the Texas
Folklife Festival, and other events. |
| Content Abstract: | The collection
spans the years 1965 through 2006 and includes the administrative records of
various Institute of Texan Cultures (ITC) departments, including the office of
director R. Henderson Shuffler. The collection also includes materials relating
to HemisFair '68 that were collected by the ITC Library. |

The Institute of Texan Cultures was established by the Fifty-ninth
Legislature on May 27, 1965. The agency was directed to develop and implement
an appropriate plan for the state's participation in HemisFair '68 to plan
exhibits related to the history of Texas, its development, resources, and
contributions; and to design and erect a building suited to housing these
exhibits, giving due consideration to its utility for state purposes after the
fair. The importance of this project was indicated by the allocation of
additional revenues by the Sixtieth Legislature, bringing the total investment
to $10 million. The institute, a permanent state agency located on HemisFair
grounds in San Antonio, was designed to study the ethnic groups that settled in
Texas. While not a museum, the institute displayed relics, artifacts, and
personal memorabilia, but only those that had a direct connection with telling
the story of the people in each ethnic group. The exhibits made use of sound,
color, movement, and atmospheric design. R. Henderson Shuffler guided the
research projects and formed the original staff.
The institute's continued function is to bring together, on loan,
fragments of Texas history collections from museums and archives throughout the
state, to produce filmstrips and slide shows on segments of Texas history, and
to publish historical pamphlets and books. The Institute of Texan Cultures was
put under the University of Texas System effective June 5, 1969, and its
official title became the University of Texas Institute of Texan Cultures at
San Antonio. In February 1973 the institute became, more specifically, a part
of the University of Texas at San Antonio.
Upon the death of Shuffler in 1975, Jack R. Maguire was named
director. Rex H. Ball was director of the institute in 1995. He was advised by
the institute's development board and reported directly to the president of
UTSA, Samuel A. Kirkpatrick. In 1995 there were 100 regular staff members and
450 volunteer workers. The institute was funded by biennial legislative
appropriations, grants, contributions, and funds generated by the sale of
publications, audiovisuals, other products, and the rental of the institute's
facilities. In addition to maintaining 50,000 square feet of exhibits featuring
twenty-seven cultures and ethnic groups, the institute hosts the Texas
Children's Festival, Pioneer Sunday, the Texas Folklife Festival, and other
events.

This collection spans the years 1965 through 2006 and includes two
types of materials: records of various Institute of Texan Cultures (ITC)
offices that were transferred to the ITC Library, and materials relating to
HemisFair '68 that were collected by the ITC Library.
Records of ITC offices include the administrative files of R.
Henderson Shuffler, the first director of the Institute of Texan Cultures.
Administrative files chiefly comprise incoming and outgoing correspondence.
Other records document the history of the ITC and its relationship with
HemisFair '68, as well as exhibit planning, instructional programs, and
projects planned by or proposed to the ITC. These materials were transferred to
the library to be stored temporarily; the library was never an official archive
for ITC records, and the origin of most of these materials is unclear.
The collection also includes materials, collected by the ITC Library,
relating to HemisFair '68. These materials do not pertain specifically to the
ITC, but rather the fair as a whole or other aspects of the fair and fair
planning. Some photographic and architectural materials relating to the
planning of HemisFair '68 were transferred to the ITC by the San Antonio
Convention and Visitors Bureau in 1998.

| | Comprises photographic materials relating to the planning of
HemisFair '68, particularly the architectural and physical features of the
world's fair and park area. Materials are primarily architects' renderings of
proposed sites and features of the HemisFair Park area, including many
photographs of three-dimensional mock-ups and models dating from the earliest
stages of the Park's development in 1965. Formats include black and white and
color negatives and prints of various sizes, 35 millimeter transparencies,
contact sheets, and mounted prints and drawings. Included are drawings
depicting the Tower of the Americas and the Institute of Texan Cultures in
conceptually different ways. There are also some photographs depicting people,
pavilions, and events after the opening of HemisFair '68. The materials were
transferred to the Institute of Texan Cultures Library from the San Antonio
Convention and Visitors Bureau in 1998. |
