"Reflections on Texas" was developed and produced by KMOL-TV San Antonio (now WOAI) to commemorate the United States Bicentennial. The series was initially intended to provide an overview of local history to heighten community awareness of the past, but evolved into focusing more on the offbeat moments of Texas and San Antonio history.
The "Reflections on Texas" series consisted of 250 30-second vignettes telecast 5 times a day over an 18-month period. KMOL-TV staff shot over 60,000 feet of film and worked over 6,000 hours on the project. The series was sponsored by Frost Bank, Pioneer Flour Mills, Sears Roebuck & Co., Southwestern Bell Telephone Company and United Services Automobile Association.
This collection consists of 186 2-inch quadruplex videotapes.
Original audiovisual materials are closed to patron use. Limited titles have been digitized and are in available in the digital repository.
The researcher assumes full responsibility for observing all copyright,
property, and libel laws as they apply.
