Students will not receive credit for the class if they do not submit the assignment. The South Texas Archives, a division of the James C. Jernigan Library, welcomes students, scholars, and the general public to use its collections documenting the rich and unparalleled history of South Texas and of this University. Remember that this is a history laboratory. This is an exercise in doing historical research. The professor wants the student to think about historical research and the nature of historical documentation.
Archives are very unique research facilities and have special requirements of researchers.
The standard archival security rules for the South Texas Archives are similar to those at any other research archives. During the school term the Richard Street entrance is open during the day. If a student would like to check to see if a microfilm reader is avaiable they are welcome to visit the Archives and check.
