Other Online Collections

The following is a list of collections whose contents have been digitized, in whole or in part, but which are not available directly in the archive portion of the Texas Digital Archive (TDA). Most of these collections were made accessible online prior to the establishment of the TDA. Each collection has a separate set of web pages dedicated to the materials, and many of them can be searched using customized databases that will provide a link to an associated image if one is available. Not all items found in the searchable databases will have digitized content. If the content of a collection becomes available directly through the TDA, links to images may change to reflect their current location. Search functions may also be altered to maximize interoperability with the TDA.

Texas Parks Civilian Conservation Corps Drawings

In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to create the Civilian Conservation Corps as part of the “New Deal.” The program provided jobs to young people with families in need, while allowing Texas to preserve land and establish its state parks system. Between 1933 and 1942, the government invested more than 20 million dollars into developing 41 Texas state parks, of which 29 still exist. This online collection is a searchable database of over 3,900 drawings documenting parks development and construction activities by the Civilian Conservation Corps in Texas from 1933 to 1958.

The Service Records series of the Texas Adjutant General records (now the Texas Military Department) combines both official service record files from the Adjutant General’s Office and alphabetical files created by other agencies that contain records related to an individual’s service in a military unit. Information in individual files can vary considerably. This index includes digital images of the original records as well as the name of the organization they served under and a call number. If an individual is not found in the index, they may have served but no records are represented in this specific series.
