Established in fall 1996, the William P. Clements Center for Southwest Studies at SMU promotes research, publishing, teaching, and public programming in a variety of fields of inquiry related to Texas, the American Southwest, and the U.S.-Mexico borderlands.
Collections at DeGolyer are particularly strong in the history of the American West, and include such holdings as The Archives of Women of the Southwest and the Lawrence T. Jones, III Texas Photography Collection.
The site consists of the collection descriptions or "finding aids" that archives, libraries, and museums create to assist users in locating information in their collections. Consider these an extended table of contents which describe unique materials only available at the individual repositories.
Includes multiple collections about the southwest and the borderlands: Tejano Voices; Border Land: The Struggle for Texas, 1820-1879; A Continent Divided: The U.S. - Mexico War; and more.
