Dr. Ralph R. Chase West Texas Collection
Browse by
The West Texas Collection (WTC) is the special collections department of the Porter Henderson Library. The WTC houses a variety of primary sources related to the history of the region including letters, photographs, maps and legal documents as well as being home to the University Archives.
The WTC is committed to using inclusive and non-discriminatory language in our archival descriptions. We acknowledge that potentially harmful language may be present in some descriptions, especially those created decades ago, and will work to remediate these issues as we become aware of them. We further acknowledge the potential for harmful or offensive language and images to appear within the sources themselves. These primary source materials are made available in their original form because to do otherwise would present a skewed and untrue picture of the past and suggest discrimination did and does not exist.
