Southwestern Historical Quarterly
for the first year of a long-range project to publish on microfilm
the Bexar Archives. The project, which was inaugurated in Jan-
uary, 1966, is directed by Chester V. Kielman, university ar-
chivist, assisted by Carmela Leal as chief preparator and Mag-
dalena Benavides Sumpter as assistant preparator.
Publication of the internationally important collection of doc-
umentation for the Spanish and Mexican periods of Texas and
Southwestern history has been a continuing goal of several gen-
erations of Texas scholars for seven decades. Beginning with
George P. Garrison and Lester G. Bugbee, the list of concerned
supporters includes names well-known among the ranks of As-
sociation members, culminating most recently with those of Wal-
ter P. Webb, Pat I. Nixon, Frank Wardlaw, Joe B. Frantz, and
Association presidents Fred Cotten, George Isbell, and J. P.
Bryan. Through the auspices of the National Historical Publi-
cations Commission, the door of scholarship will at last be un-
locked to the historical treasure house of the Bexar Archives.
The 1966 project calendar provides for the production of a
general descriptive guide to the collection and the completion
of pre-filming processes for the eighteenth century manuscript
files with detailed calendar descriptions of the documents con-
tained therein.
In addition, the University of Texas program for translation
of the Bexar Archives continues. Since the last report published
in the Quarterly, the following volumes for the general manu-
scripts series of Bexar Archives Translations have been completed:
