Subseries A1: Administrative Records of the TAS,, 1964 - 1966

 Sub-Series

Scope and Content of the collection

The following documents were produced during the administration and management of the Texas Architecture Survey from 1964-1966. John Garner worked simultaneously as a graduate student in the School of Architecture of the University of Texas and on commission as the Survey Field Director for the Amon Carter Museum. Garner filed several types of field reports: operations logs, operations projections, and field reports submitted to both the Museum and to the University. These brief dated reports include weather conditions, miles driven, number of rolls of film exposed, descriptions of personal contacts and their recommendations, and a few lines of text about buildings surveyed. Series A also includes correspondence to coordinate schedules and operations among Garner, Professor Blake Alexander of the University of Texas, Eugene George, AIA (teaching in Kansas in 1964) and Mitchell A. Wilder, the Director of the Amon Carter Museum.
