Finding Items - Archives & Manuscripts
This index provides subject and personal-name access to a select number of manuscript collections held at The Center for American History. Because The University of Texas began acquiring historically significant archival and manuscript materials in the late 19th century and has been adding to those holdings steadily ever since, the Archives and Manuscripts Section of the Center for American History now contains approximately 8,000 separate collections. Because of the size and the age of these holdings, no one index is available for the entire collection of archival and manuscript materials. The helpful index presented here, compiled during the 1980s, provides name, place, and topical subject access to many, but not all, of the collections that had been acquired by the Center at that time.
There is a hard copy version of this index stored in five green binders with white labels on the Archives and Manuscripts Finding Aids Table.
Attention researchers: Subjects are alphabetized letter by letter

Access to other portions of the archival and manuscript holdings of the Center for American History can be obtained by using these additional resources:
