| Institutional Archives | |||||||||
The HRC is the official archival repository for the institutional records, in all formats, that were created or received in the course of business, and retained permanently due to their continuing or enduring value for legal, administrative, financial, or historical research purposes. Of special interest are the records of Dr. Ernst W. Bertner, the first acting director (1942-1946); Dr. R. Lee Clark, director and surgeon-in-chief, 1946-1968, president, 1968-1978, and president emeritus (1978-1985); and Dr. Charles A. LeMaistre, president, 1978-1996. This voluminous record group—consisting of more than 8600 microfiche and over 50 linear feet of textual material—includes extensive correspondence, memoranda, reports, budgets and other financial documents, committee minutes, newspaper and journal articles, construction and architectural plans and drawings, and memorabilia. As institutional records are processed, finding aids are prepared and will be available on the collaborative site TARO, Texas Archival Resources Online, and on the HRC web page. |
