Title:
Sixty-Seventh Legislature
Description:
House Photography records contain black-and-white and color photographs, contact sheets, negatives, slides, letters received, photograph order forms, policy statements, and product manuals produced and collected by the Media Services of the Texas House of Representatives during the 67th Legislature in 1981-1982. The department accumulated these records in the course of its work to make photographic portraits of individual state representatives, to photograph events on the floor of the Texas House of Representatives and in other related entities of state government, and to provide photographs at the request of members. The 67th Legislative Regular Session began on January 13, 1981, and ended on June 1, 1981. The 1st Called Session (C.S.) began on July 13, 1981, and ended on August 11, 1981. The 2nd C.S. began on May 24, 1982, and ended on May 28, 1982. The 3rd C.S. began on September 7, 1982, and ended on September 9, 1982. Bill Clayton served as Speaker of the House. The images concern the following subjects: speeches, debates, ceremonies, and other business on the floor of the House of Representatives; the proceedings of legislative committees and state regulatory boards; the secretary of state; the legislative black caucus; staff members; sergeants; the children of representatives; the State Capitol building and its furnishings; and other special events including the 100th Anniversary of the Capitol building construction. Negatives and prints related to an individual representative may often be found in the "Member Files" folders. Contact sheets for the "House Floor shots" and all other general activities folders are housed separately. See the photo archivist for assistance. The House staff created a card index with an entry for each representative indicating each "Floor Shot" in which the member is included. There are also cards for general house floor shots arranged numerically by contact sheet.
