Thanks to the work and enthusiasm of local archivists, we are pleased again this year to offer an online exhibit we hope will broaden and deepen your reading experience. For Remembering Through Archives: Images from Local Archives, archivists from Harris County Archives, Houston Public Library's Houston Metropolitan Research Center, The Kincaid School Libraries, Sam Houston Regional Libary & Research Center, Texas State Library & Archives Commission, San Jacinto Museum of History, University of Houston, Special Collections and Rice University Fondren Library's Woodson Research Center have selected photographs, documents and artifacts to give you both historical context for the events you read about in The Train to Crystal City and a feel for what everyday life was like for Texans at the time.
Houston Community College history professor, Dr. Nicholas Cox will give a talk entitled Crystal City Internment Camp: Internment & Security in Texas During World War II at Fort Bend County Library - Sienna Branch this evening, 7:00 - 8:00 p.m.
