Southwestern Collection
project will fall largely on the University of Oklahoma. The filming
of the Federal records is expected to take about two years. Copies of
all of the film produced will be located at the University. Copies of
any part of the collection will also be available to other interested
persons or institutions through the regular National Archives micro-
film publication program.
The Committee on Folklore of the University of Texas at Austin
has announced the establishment of the Center for Intercultural Studies
in Folklore and Oral History with its main offices in the English
Building. The Center's function is to serve as a focus for teaching and
research in folklore and related fields; it is intended to be both inter-
disciplinary and international in character. It will make available to
researchers a small, specialized library, archives of manuscripts and
sound recordings, and equipment for their use.
Clippings
The materials exhibited in the Chisholm Trail Centennial Museum
Car, which the Association, together with the historical associations
of Kansas and Oklahoma, had a major hand in assembling and man-
aging last summer, have been sent by the United States Information
Agency for a year's exhibition throughout Japan. The materials are
currently being displayed at an international trade fair in Sapporo,
Japan, where they comprise one of two exhibits in the United States
pavilion. When the exhibit closes at the end of the summer, the
materials will be sent from city to city. It is estimated that one million
persons will see the exhibition during the period of the fair. A large
share of the credit for getting this story of Texas and the Chisholm
Trail to Japan belongs to an anonymous donor and to Kenneth B.
Ragsdale, a research associate with the Association. Ragsdale saw to
the details of packing, shipping, and the like. He was also the coor-
dinator for exhibits when the materials were aboard the museum car.
Roger Conger and Wayne Gard, members of the Association's Execu-
tive Council, were members of the Texas Commission, along with me.
Conger was chairman.
