University Of Texas Libraries
To Catalog Newspaper Titles
AUSTIN-With a $98,000
grant from the National En-
dowment for the Humanities,
the General Libraries of The
University of Texas at Austin
on July 1 will begin a yearlong
effort to catalogue for the first
time the titles of about 2,000
Texas and 2,000 other U.S.
newspapers it has in its collec-
tions.
The cataloguing effort at IT
Austin is part of the Texas
Newspaper Project, which is
part of an even larger project-
the U.S. National Newspaper
Project-whose national goal is
to catalogue and ultimately
preserve from further deterior-
ation (through microfilming)
the estimated 300,000 news-
paper titles that have been
published in North America
since 1690.
Coordinating the Texas
Newspaper Project is Dr. Bob-
by Weaver, archivist from the
Panhandle-Plains Museum at
West Texas State University,
Canyon.
In addition to UT Austin, two
other large newspaper reposi
tories in Texas, the Texas State
Librarv and Texas Tech Uni-
versity, are involved in The
Texas Newspaper Project.
They also will catalogue their
newspaper titles.
When the first phase of
newspaper cataloguing by
those three major Texas reposi
tories is completed, the Texas
Newspaper Project in 1987
then will seek to inventory
newspaper collections in smal
ler and more specialized Texas
repositories.
Newspaper publishing in
Texas began in 1813 with the
Gaceta de Texas, published
one time only- in Nacogdoches
Current estimates indicate a
bout 17,000 Texas and U.S
newspaper titles are held with
in more than 1,300 Texas
repositories. More than 6,630
newspapers have been publish
ed in the state since 1813.
The Texas effort, which is
being duplicated in the other
states, eventually will result in
Fire Destroys Mobile
Home Saturday
Fire destroyed a mobile
home belonging to Frenchy
Gore on Highway 92 North near
Good Shepherd Baptist Church
on Saturday.
According to Silsbee Fire
Chief John Price, the call came
in about 1 p.m. There were no
injuries, and no one was inside
the trailer home at the time,
Price said.
A pot that had been left on
the stove appeared to be the
prime suspect, Price added.
Total value of the trailer home
was estimated at $10 to
$15,000, Price said. The Don
Moore family had been renting
the trailer from Gore, Price
said.
Dog Vaccinations
Day To Be May 15
The annual city-wide dog
vaccination will take place from
3 to 6 p.m. May 15 at the
Silsbee Volunteer Fire Depart
ment, according to assistant
city manager Cesar Domin
guez.
Dogs will be vaccinated for a
reduced fee by a local veteri
narian, Dominguez said. The
pets must be on leashes.
Nursing Home Week
National Nursing Home week
will be observed May 11-18.
Bur Mont Nursing Center,
Hwy 327 West, will have spec
ial activities each day.
Open house will be held May
18 from 2 until 4 p.m. in the
center. Music will be provided
by the Country Harmony Blue
Grass Band from Houston.
Those celebrating birthdays
in the month of May are Maye
Lewis, Barbara Horsak, Bessie
Gordon, Minnie White, L.O.
Wray and Daniel King.

the first comprehensive compu-
terized catalogue of U.S. News-
paper listings. Such a catalogue
will be a readily accessible
research tool telling archivists,
historians, librarians, genealo-
gists and other researchers
which libraries have what pap-
ers.
Information generated by the
newspaper project throughout
the nation will be incorporated
into OCLC, a centralized com-
puter database of bibliographic
records located in Dublin, Ohio.
Such information then will be
available through the more
than 6,000 libraries that tap
into the resources of OCLC.
Harold Billings, director of
UT Austin’s General Libraries,
says the newspaper project will
enhance significantly the re-
search resources of the state
and nation.
“Newspapers, as conserva-
tors of national and state heri-
tage, are a valuable asset tc
many fields of scholarship," he
says.
Sue Phillips, General Librar-
ies assistant director for biblio-
graphic control, says many
libraries, UT Austin included,
have not maintained adequate
listings of their newspaper
holdings. She is pleased that
the project will make it easier
for library users on the UT
Austin campus to find news
papers owned by the General
Libraries and that “as the
national project progresses ov-
er the next few years the
newspaper resources of the
nation also will become easily
available to scholars."
Ms. Phillips has coordinated
the University’s participation
in the Texas Newspaper Pro
iect.
The General Libraries' catal
oguing effort will be centered in
the Barker Texas History Cen
ter and will be supervised by an
archivist, Alison Beck. The
earliest paper in the Barker
Center is the Texas Gazette,
published in 1829 in Brazoria.
The U.S. National Newspap
er Project began in 1982 with
seven institutions the Library
of Congress, the American
Antiquarian Society in Worces-
ter, Mass., the Center for
Research Libraries in Chicago,
the Western Reserve Historical
Society in Cleveland, and the
state historical societies of Kan-
sas, New York and Wisconsin.
