SOURCES OF INFORMATION RELATING TO THE AUSTIN PARKS &

RECREATION DEPARTMENT

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the Austin History Center is to provide our customers with information

about the history and current events of Austin and Travis County by collecting,

organizing and preserving research materials and assisting in their use so that customers

can learn from the community's collective memory.

The collections of the Austin History Center (AHC) contain valuable materials about the

Austin Parks and Recreation Department. The materials in this bibliography are arranged

by collection unit of the Austin History Center. Within each collection unit, items are

arranged in shelf-list order.

This bibliography is the first version created using information gleaned from AHC

Collections about the Austin Parks and Recreation Department. Many individuals and

groups helped create this document by contributing materials and pointing out materials,

particularly current events. The AHC’s card catalog (distinct from the online computer

catalog) contains analytical entries on information contained in periodicals and other

materials. This is in addition to listing individual items in the collection with entries

under author, title and subject. These entries lead to specific articles and other

information in sources that would otherwise be time consuming to uncover.
