Battalion/Page! February 1, Archives key to Aggie history by Christine Mallon Battalion Reporter Everything you’ve always wanted to know about Texas A&M but didn’t know where to look, can be found in the Uni versity’s archives. The archives, located in Sterl ing C. Evans Library, can aid many students, faculty members and researchers who are looking for specific information about the University’s history. Dr. Charles R. Schultz, Uni versity archivist, said the major ity of the archives’ users are undergraduate students. “Most'of the students are looking for information for term papers,” he said. Other frequent users include journalists and publishers from around the world. The pub lishers of “The Aggies and the ’Horns: 86 Years of Bad Blood and Good Football” used 127 archive photographs to illus trate the book, according to the archives’ 1981-82 annual report. Last year members of the affirmative action office used a variety of records to document minority representation at Texas A&M, the report said. The majority of information stored in the archives concerns some aspect of the University. But Schultz said many official and personal letters and papers are also donated to the archives by county courts, congressmen, faculty members, past Universi ty officials, graduates and many other contributors. Yearbooks, cadet uniforms, volumes of The Battalion, thousands of photographs, post ers and portraits, catalogs, infor mation about traditions, athletic programs, souvenirs and per sonalized license plates can be found in the archives. Materials from every Univer sity-related organization also have been collected. Schultz said collecting for the The publishers of “The Aggies and the 'Horns: 86 Years of Bad Blood and Good Football” used 127 archive photo graphs to illustrate the book, according to the archives' 1981-82 annual report. archives of modern politics lias been successful. The papers of Congressmen Olin E. Teague, Class of ’32 and Graham Purcell, Class of ’41, as well as those of Texas legislator Will L. Smith, Class of’39 now are stored in the archives. Former Texas Speaker of the House Bill Clayton recently donated more then 280 large boxes of personal and official manuscripts which constitute the largest personal collection in the archives. In spite of the tremendous ex pansion in the collection prog ram, Schultz said, there still are areas in the archives that could be enlarged. He said the arc hives could use more letters and documents from Aggie soldiers who served in wars. Another area of interest is finding photographs of campus and student life since the Unver- sity was founded in 1876, Schultz said.
