Texas Collection
of the Annual Report of the American Historical Association for
19538, is a useful bibliographical aid which should be called to
the attention of Association members. The writings listed in this
volume are organized in three divisions: (1) the historical pro-
fession; (2) national history; and (3) regional and local history.
Of these sections the last will probably be of greatest utility to
the general reader of Texas history. Under the subdivision "The
South," almost nine pages are devoted to books and articles
which the editor, Dr. James R. Masterson, considers to be con-
tributions of lasting value to the historiography of the state. Some
one-fifth of the entries in the Texas section are publications of
the Association that have appeared either as a book or as articles
in the Quarterly and the Junior Historian. The excellent index
of Writings on American History is a good guide for the more
intensive searcher to almost one hundred additional studies on
Texas topics that have been entered in the other two main
divisions.
Sylvan Dunn, who in recent years has been archivist and acting
state librarian, began in July a new assignment as assistant to Dr.
Seymour V. Connor in the Southwest Collection at Texas Tech.

cause of local and state history flourish on the High Plains and
throughout the Southwest.
Henry B. Dielmann, attorney and devotee of Texas history in
San Antonio, has been rendering a fine civic service in instructing
members of the San Antonio Junior League provisionals of 1956
in the unique and dramatic history of "The Queen City of the
Missions." Appropriately, classes were held in La Villita's his-
toric Cos House.
The following persons and institutions have become members
of the Association since publication of the last Quarterly:
