Collection Description
Audiotaped interviews were conducted as part of a project between Documentary Arts, Inc., and the Center for American History, at The University of Texas at Austin, to document the lives and careers of Texas African American photographers. The interviews were taped from 1992 through 1994 with either the photographers themselves or relatives. The resulting transcripts were utilized in Alan Govenar’s book, Portraits of Community: African American Photography in Texas, published in 1996 by the Texas State Historical Association. Moreover, the interviews provide context to the collections making up the Texas African American Photography Archive. Other interviews were conducted with individuals whose lives and experiences provide are relevant to the Texas African American Photography Archive’s collections.
