DISCUSSION:
The TexTreasures Grant Program is an annual competitive grant program that helps Texas
public and academic libraries make their special or unique collections more accessible to
researchers across Texas and the nation.
The Fort Worth Library will receive a grant in the amount of $20,000.00 for State Fiscal Year
2013 to enhance the collections of the Local History, Archives and Genealogy Unit (Unit).
The Unit has been part of the Library's service offering since 1949. Within this Unit, the
Library houses a rich collection of materials relevant to Texas and the Fort Worth community
including approximately 450 archive collections, 40 000 books, 9 500 rolls of microfilm,
several hundred thousand sheets of microfiche and a large collection of vertical file materials.
In 1997 the City Council designated the Library as the official Municipal Archives. Recently,
the Unit has undertaken a digital initiative to make some collections available online
Outsourcing the digitization of medium and large Texas archival collections will expedite
public access to materials of enduring and historic value. Digitizing archive collections will
provide public access to national, state, regional and local historical materials for students,
historians, scholars and genealogists both in Fort Worth and across the nation. Collections to
be digitized include:
• United Confederate Veterans (UCV) Robert E. Lee Camp, 1861-1924
• Texas Centennial Scrapbook, 1936
• Tarrant County Original Land Grants (transfer of early county land grants), 1854-1884
• The Bohemian (Books that capture state, regional and local events), 1901-1907
• Fox Photo Albums (Portrayal of Fort Worth street scenes, buildings and entertainment
venues as early
as 1936)
• Texas County Tax Roles, 1836-1981
• Fort Worth Labor News, 1944-1975
• Lake Como Weekly, 1950-1971
This grant is for the State Fiscal Year of September 1, 2012 through August 31, 2013. This is
the first year the Fort Worth Library has received this grant.
