PREFACE
The Travis County inventory began in February 1976 when
Brother William Dunn and history students Joseph Sprague, Kerry
Fulton, Joe Putman, and Luis de la Garza from St. Edward's University
initiated the work in a semester-long special problems
class. During the fall of 1976, the Archives Division of the
Texas State Library employed Kate Adams to continue work on the
project. Additional help during this period came from two
of the State Archives' field archivists Paul Scott and David
Levine and local records research assistant Rebecca Barnett.
The final offices were inventoried in August 1977 and the recheck
and verification phase was completed by Project Staff in May 1978.
The resulting two-volume work includes detailed information
on over 1,100 record series compiled from 18 offices and dead
storage areas. An additional listing of county records and related
material maintained in the Austin Public Library's Austin-Travis
County Collection is also included.
For their cooperation in making this inventory possible, we
would like to thank the following officials: County Judge Mike
Renfro, County Clerk Doris Shropshire, former Tax AssessorCollector
Fritz Robinson and present Tax Assessor-Collector Bill
Burnette, Treasurer Johnny Crow, Auditor Wilburn Rust, Personnel
Director Jim Johnson, School Superintendent F. W. Horton, Engineer
