Southwestern Historical Quarterly
of the Dallas Historical Society and Tom Smith of the Dallas County
Heritage Society extended a gracious invitation to us for 1i 991, and we
are looking forward to working with them and with many of our other
good friends in the Dallas area.
Our good friend Randolph B. (Mike) Campbell, professor of history
at the University of North Texas, serves the Association in many capaci-
ties. He is a new member of the Executive Council, an advisory editor
to the Handbook of Texas, and he is on the editorial advisory board of the
Southwestern Historical Quarterly. Given all of that, Mike still manages to
do more than his share of scholarly research and writing. In fact, he
has an interesting research note, "Slave Hiring in Texas," in the Febru-
ary 1988 issue of the Amerzcan Historical Review. His conclusions about
slave hiring, based on painstaking investigations of local records, pro-
vide important insights into the Peculiar Institution in Texas. Mike also
recently published "The Slave Family in Antebellum Texas" in the Vic-
toria College Social Sciences Symposium, 1988, and his book "An Empire
for Slavery: The Peculiar Institution in Texas" will be published in
1989 by Louisiana State University Press.
David B. Gracy II, a longtime member of the Association, is the latest
addition to the advisory editorial board for the new Handbook of Texas.
David is the former state archivist and is now the Governor Bill Daniel
Professor in Archival Enterprise at the University of Texas at Austin.
In addition to his knowledge of early Texas-especially the life and ca-
reer of Moses Austin-David is an expert in bibliography and archival
materials. He will be a great help to us in planning the indexing and
bibliography of the new Handbook.
President William H. Cunningham of the University of Texas at Aus-
tin recently signed an agreement with Professor Jesus Arreola, secre-
tary of education and culture for the state of Coahuila, agreeing to as-
sist in the development of a museum of Texas and Coahuila history,
which will be located in Monclova, the colonial capital of Coahuila. The
agreement is part of a larger agreement that Governor William P.
Clements signed with Coahuila governor Eliseo Mendoza. Governor
Clements has been conducting a series of talks over a period of months
with the governors of the Mexican states that border on Texas. The
agreement also calls for the restoration of the Mission San Juan Bautista
complex (Mission San Bernardo is the most important remaining struc-
ture) and the exchange of historical materials on microfilm.364
