As part of its 90th Anniversary Gala, Laredo’s Table is now bequeathing an impressive archive of historic scrapbooks that traces its storied history to the Sue and Radcliffe Killam Library’s Special Collections and Archives. The collection is a wonderful intermingling of social activism, global awareness, and women’s history. The archive includes a wide variety of materials including photos, newspaper clippings, official correspondence and chapter records; bearing witness to local efforts to foster mutual understanding, knowledge, and friendship among the peoples of the Western Hemisphere. The activities of the Laredo chapter of PART are an important part of our region’s history because it is an embodiment of our bi-national culture and values. Preservation of our regional heritage is of primary importance to the TAMIU Special Collections and Archives. The event is free of charge and open to the public.
Wednesday, April 6 at 10 a.m. in the TAMIU Sue and Radcliffe Killam Library, room 203
