The Mexican War items are being located in the Jenkins Garrett Library at the University of Texas at Arlington, and it is expected that duplicates of Austin holdings that turn up in the collection will be added to the Garret Library and to the fine Texas Collection in the John Peace Library of the University of Texas at San Antonio. Far from being parochial musuem pieces, these enormously valuable research materials help expand a national and international resource for the continuing study not just of a state and region but of the entire United States and this hemisphere in its constantly developing and evolving movement. By acquiring this collection The University of Texas meets a continuing obligation not only to the citizens of Texas and the Southwest for the improvement of its resources but to scholars worldwide whose concern is the history of the Americas.
