Each year AIA Lubbock helps to raise funds for scholarships for Texas Tech University’s College of Architecture through an annual scholarship golf tournament. Our annual goal is to raise $25,000 in support of the College of Architecture. As you know, tuition and fees keep going up and these scholarships provide much needed support and help to alleviate some of the financial burden for many of the recipients. Your support will go a long way in helping those students at Texas Tech.
Above you will find golfer registration information and sponsorship opportunities to help with this endeavor. Other ways that you could greatly help this year’s tournament could be time, money donations, silent auction item donations, but most importantly coming out and supporting AIA Lubbock by playing in the tournament!
Golfing includes green fee, cart, range balls, breakfast, lunch, golf shirt, complimentary Rawls Course silver logo bag tag and divot with yardage card, and a “goodie” bag.

IT’S SAFE TO SAY YOU’LL NEVER THINK OF ALIEN THE SAME WAY AGAIN.
Memory was a script that Dan O’Bannon started in 1971, abruptly hitting a wall at page 29. But after the idea gestated for several years, it ultimately took the form of Ridley Scott’s masterpiece Alien.
Alexandre O. Philippe’s documentaries—most recently 78/52, about Hitchcock’s Psycho shower scene—have interrogated cinema’s cultural ripples. If MEMORY—The Origins of Alien were only a comprehensive account of Alien’s origins—ancient myths, comic books, H.P. Lovecraft, sci-fi movies, and parasitic wasps—it would still be fascinating. But how did Alien lodge itself so indelibly into our cultural imagination? Philippe’s real interest lies in the deep resonance of myths and our collective unconscious. The strange symbiotic collaboration between Alien creators O’Bannon, Scott, and H.R. Giger suggests a greater synchronicity across history, art, and storytelling, a synchronicity that gives us the Furies, creatures of Renaissance painting, and even chest-bursting aliens.
Propelled by a pure joy of cinema (and sociology), the film is strewn with unearthed archival material, designs, and story notes. It’s safe to say you’ll never think of Alienthe same way again.

Directed by Sean Allen Jones. Southern Comedy. Written by: Jamie Wooten, Jessie Jones and Nicholas Hope
Four unique Southern women, all needing to escape the sameness of their day-to-day routines, are drawn together by Fate—and an impromptu happy hour—decide it’s high time to reclaim the enthusiasm for life they’ve lost through the years. Over the course of six months, filled with laughter, hilarious misadventures, and the occasional liquid refreshment, these middle-aged women successfully bond and find the confidence to jumpstart their new lives. Together, they discover lasting friendships and a renewed determination to live in the moment and most importantly, realize it’s never too late to make new old friends.
The play will also be performed October 11-13 and October 18-20.

AGE POLICY
18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with an adult. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
JUST SAY NI!
That’s right, one of the greatest and most quotable movies of all time is getting the Movie Party treatment, which means you can get in on all the sword-fighting, coconut-clomping glory.
We’ll have swords for everyone, coconut halves for you to bring your imaginary horses to life, onscreen lyrics so that you can sing-along with the Knights of the Round Table, and a test of will, dexterity, and might prior to the show to recruit some brave knights to our cause (don’t go second-guessing your favorite colors, now).
So follow, but follow only if ye be men of valor. For the entrance to this Movie Party is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel, that no man yet has fought with it and lived. Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.
ABOUT MOVIE PARTY EVENTS
If you’ve ever wanted to completely lose yourself in a favorite movie, this series is for you.
At an Alamo Drafthouse Movie Party, you can cheer for your heroes, boo the bad guys, shout out your favorite lines, and even sing along with the songs – all in a theater packed with fellow fans.
Your ticket always includes themed props to bring the action on screen to life around you, so you can sword fight along with Inigo Montoya during THE PRINCESS BRIDE, rock out on guitar with SCOTT PILGRIM, or even get a whiff of manure along with Biff during BACK TO THE FUTURE.
The possibilities – and the fun – are endless. Come live your cherished movies along with us.

About the Music
The Elegant Savages Orchestra is a “folk chamber orchestra” of winds, brass, strings, percussion, folkloric instruments, voices, and dancers, focusing upon the dance music and song of northern and western Europe and of the mysterious country of Bassanda. A major resource is the cluster of music and dance styles known, in contemporary Western Europe, as “BalFolk” (literally, “folk-dance”). BalFolk is a modern phenomenon, part of a new wave of European “revivals” which has transformed expectations about who plays which regional folk styles and what that playing means. At the center of the revival is the dynamic interplay between musicians and dancers, and the emotional community created by the dancing.

AGE POLICY
18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with an adult. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
CAN’T STOP THE SIGNAL.
Aim to misbehave with us at our shiny interactive celebration of Joss Whedon’s sci-fi epic. Guaranteed to be the most fun allowable by law in this ‘verse!
For those new to the ‘verse: Serenity is a spaceship full of perpetually on the run renegades lead by the roguish Captain Malcolm Reynolds (the spectacularly charming Nathan Fillion) who will do anything for cash. After being on the losing side of a civil war, Reynolds and his crew will smuggle, cheat and steal to keep their lives simple and off the grid. That is until one day when a routine transport of a brother and his sister turn the crew of Serenity into the most sought-after folks in the galaxy.
Joss Whedon’s directorial feature debut is an absolute marvel. It gave fans everything they had ever wanted after the abrupt end to FIREFLY and the approachable story allowed newcomers to be indoctrinated into the world of Browncoats by having a story that was independently awesome on its own.
Our Movie Parties amp up the awesome to a full-on, fourth wall-busting celebration. We’ll have cap guns so you can shoot at the Reavers, Serenity ships for everyone to pilot in the air like we’re all a leaf on the wind, and tissues to use when, well, you know…

His recognizable tenor has graced some of the biggest hits of Country music, earning the Virginia native a slot in both the hallowed ranks of the Country Music Hall of Fame as well as the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. Music has always been important in Jimmy’s life, as he first began performing with his father at local square dances back home. At the age of thirteen, he formed his first band – The New Edition – and the Jimmy Fortune story began. As an adult, he built a reputation for being one of the most talented and versatile performers in the Nelson County / Staunton area – becoming known as an artist who could sing anything, ranging from Country and Bluegrass to Rock and Roll.
In the early 1980s, word of his talent reached Lew DeWitt. Known as the tenor singer of the Statler Brothers, DeWitt heard Jimmy and walked away very impressed with the singer’s delivery. If that’s where Jimmy’s encounter with DeWitt had ended, that would have been fine enough. However, what he didn’t know was that Lew was in the early stages of Crohn’s Disease – which would force him to leave the quartet temporarily in 1982. DeWitt suggested that his partners in the group take a look at Fortune. They did, and Fortune was hired. Unfortunately, by the end of the year, DeWitt had to permanently leave the Statler’s, and the job became his on a full-time basis.
To say that he carved out his own place as a Statler would be an understatement. Encouraged to develop his writing talents, Fortune wrote and sang lead on many of their biggest hits. “Elizabeth,” “Too Much on My Heart,” “Forever,” and “More Than A Name on A Wall” are just a few of the Statler’s’ hits that feature the Fortune name and voice. He also was part of the group’s award-winning TNN variety series that ran from 1991 to 1998 and played date after date on the road, bringing their legendary sound to thousands each year. Today, he writes, records and tours solo and with his band – bringing his gift to longtime and new fans coast to coast.

Join us at the Blue Light this evening as the Drew Fish Band releases its CD Devil You Know.
Genre: Country
Hometown: Austin, TX
The Drew Fish Band’s show has definitely earned it’s good-time, beer drinking reputation over the years. It’s easy to understand why after seeing his music videos full of up-beat, party anthems or experiencing the band’s high-energy show for yourself. You might even see a cameo or two from 9-time Grammy Award winner Ray Benson in the Small Price to Pay music video or hear a song co-written by 34-time top 10 songwriter Byron Hill with the band’s first radio single off of their upcoming album, Better Place. From media outlets in France and England to CMT, the band’s music videos have drawn attention internationally. 2017 was a record year for the band with Sounds Like A Plan being the sixth most played song on regional radio and their music videos garnering over one million views, but the band didn’t slow down and their most recent single release, Flood, shot up the radio charts at lightning pace to become the band’s first two-week #1. Adding on to the 25 Grammy Awards that are featured on the band’s past two records, Drew is now in the studio tracking his third studio record produced by five-time Grammy Award winner Adam Odor that is set to release in early 2019. The new record will feature songs that Drew wrote with Byron Hill (Fool Hearted Memory – George Strait; Born Country – Alabama; Nothin’ On But The Radio – Gary Allan), Roger Brown (We Must Be Lovin’ Right and Need I say More – George Strait; She Gets That Way – Kenny Chesney; All Hat, No Cattle – Trace Adkins), Tommy Conners (The Highway – Willie Nelson; Simple As Dirt – Chris Ledoux; I Wish I Was Wrong – Travis Tritt; Just Like A Rodeo – John Michael Montgomery), and Curtis Grimes (NBC’s The Voice).

To be human is to wonder what happens when you’re gone and to question your existence in the meantime: Why am I here, and what will be left of me when I’m not? For the members of RED—Michael Barnes and identical twins Anthony and Randy Armstrong—the fearless search for those answers lives with them every day, on the road, in their records, and in their latest release, GONE.

Will of the Wind Productions seeking Directors
WotWP is seeking talented and diverse directors to add to our directing pool for 2020 and beyond. The first show in need of a director is Dial M for Murder, opening at the Firehouse theatre in April 2020. If you are interested in this opportunity, or if you are interested in future directing opportunities, please email your résumé or inquiries to joshua.aguirre@willofthewind.org.
Call for Original Art Work from TTU Graduate Students – “Justice”
The Humanities Center of Texas Tech and Landmark Arts in the School of Art are calling for original visual art from TTU graduate students, for a juried exhibition on the Humanities Center’s 2019-2020 theme: “Justice.” The exhibition will open on February 7, 2020 at the School of Art Satellite Gallery at CASP in the downtown arts district during the First Friday Art Trail. An awards reception will be held a week later; two works will be selected by a jury of TTU faculty for first- and second-place prizes of $750 and $250 dollars, respectively. Any graduate student currently enrolled at Texas Tech is eligible to submit to this call.
To speak of “Justice” necessarily provokes humanities scholarship’s broad goal of making sense of what it means to be human, since acts of injustice so often denigrate the humanity at the heart of that academic inquiry. In line with the Humanities Center’s 2019-2020 theme, we are seeking work that exposes or archives historical or ongoing acts of injustice, or imagines redress for those problems.
Among the topics for art presentation in which we are particularly interested are:
- mass incarceration and the prison-industrial complex;
• restorative justice versus punitive justice;
• the handling/mishandling of mental health matters by the criminal justice system;
• the detention of immigrants and the separation of immigrant families;
• inequalities in the distribution of rights for citizens across different identities;
• the human cost of environmental injustices;
• the ongoing economic and/or medical effects of systemic racism, homophobia and transphobia, and gender inequality.
Art media can include 2D work in painting, photography, printmaking, drawing, video, and 3D work in sculpture, ceramics, jewelry/metals, and installation. 2D work may not exceed 60×60 inches in size. 3D work may not exceed a 48×48 inch footprint with a maximum height of 96 inches.
Graduate students may submit one work for this exhibition competition. Please complete the Google Docs Submission Form found at this link: Justice Submission Form. You will need a gmail account to be able to access and complete the form.
The jury for the two prizes will be:
• Dr. Allison Whitney, Department of English
• Dr. Stacey Jocoy, School of Music
• Diane Warner, Texas Tech Libraries
Deadline for submissions is December 15, 2019. For any further questions, please email Dr. Michael Borshuk, Interim Director of the Humanities Center at humanitiescenter@ttu.edu or Joe Arredondo, Director of Landmark Arts at joe.arredondo@ttu.edu.

THE BLUE LIGHT FALL 2019 SINGER-SONGWRITER COMPETITION ANNOUNCED
The Famed Blue Light Fall 2019 Singer-Songwriter Competition will be taking place this October and November. For six weeks, the competition will be the dominating highlight on Mondays at the storied Blue Light.
Our 2019 Songwriter competition will take place every Monday from October 14th till the Finale on November 18th. 12 songwriters each night, 3 will advance each night. That means there will be 5 preliminary weeks, 1 finale week. There will be 15 total songwriters on the finale night.
For 20 years, The Blue Light has been a haven for live music and the singer-songwriter. This year in particular marks 10 years of the famed singer-songwriter competition–which was initially started as a way to invigorate the locals into coming to The Blue Light’s then newly established Monday Songwriter Night format. It most certainly worked and continues a legacy as a place for young and established songwriters alike to workshop their songs, hone their stage presence, create a budding network, and most importantly, share song and story with their contemporaries.
Like last year, the competition will again have five preliminary rounds (Oct. 14, Oct. 21, Oct 28, Nov. 04, and Nov. 11) with this year’s Finale being held Monday, November 18.
The competition works as follows. 12 different singer-songwriters will perform on each of the preliminary dates. On those dates, after each songwriter performs two songs each, three songwriters will be declared winners of a spot in The Finale (Nov. 18). The Final Round will bring the 15 preliminary round winners together in a Who’s Who worthy night of songs. After each songwriter performs two songs each, an ultimate winner, a first runner-up, and second runner-up will be declared.
To sign up for this year’s competition, songwriters should be aware of the following rules:
01) Each songwriter will be allowed two songs. Songs shouldn’t be longer than five minutes in length.
02) Each song must be an original. Covers are not allowed. Co-writes are permitted, but you must highlight include who also was involved and who wrote which specific parts.
03) Each songwriter must provide copies of their lyrics for the judges prior to their performance. If you do not bring advance copies, paper will be available. Three copies of each song are preferred.
04) Songwriters must make their own arrangements with regards to their instruments. Acoustic guitars, banjos, ukuleles, fiddles, keyboards, etc. are permitted. Electric guitars are not. If you are unsure, ask us prior in an email.
05) You must play your own instrument. This is an individual competition.
06) Each night, Blue Light doors will open at 8 p.m. with music starting roughly around 9 p.m.
07) Each night, the order of the competition will be randomly drawn. At this time, Competition curator and host Jerry Serrano will remind you of these rules, along with answers to any additional questions you have at that time.
To sign up, you will need to e-mail us at newslang.editors@gmail.com with “Blue Light Fall 2019 Singer-Songwriter” as the subject with the following information:
Name:
Cell Phone Number:
Which Week You’d Like to Play:
Have You Participated in the BLSSC Before (Y/N):
Hometown/Current Town:
Current Band/Artist Page(s):
In addition, we ask you to submit at least one track of a recorded song. This doesn’t have to be studio recorded or an album cut. It can be just a demo or live track. It can be on Spotify, YouTube, ReverbNation, an iPhone Demo, etc. You will then receive a confirmation email shortly thereafter.
Additionally, we’d love to go ahead and get everyone familiar with our intentions of creating a listening room atmosphere for these specific dates. This is ultimately a songwriter competition which values the craft of lyrics, storytelling, vocals, mood, emotion, and feeling. That essentially means giving the one performing our absolute attention and observation.
We’ll keep this page updated with how many open slots are currently available. Spots will be filling up fast, so don’t put off signing up.
You currently have roughly a month until the first Monday starts. One excellent way to start preparing is to show up at Blue Light’s Singer-Songwriter Mondays for the next four weeks to get acquainted with the atmosphere and the room. Again, Songwriter Night host Jerry Serrano will be there to answer any questions or concerns you might have.
Previous competition winners have been: Kenneth O’Meara, Casey Berry, Daniel Markham, Zac Wilkerson, Danny Cadra, Amanda Goebel, Erick Willis, Jacob Furr, Jerry Serrano, Zoe Carter, Starfire On the Mountain, Will Felty, and most recently, Juliet McConkey.

In the early 1930’s, to spur the economy from the depression and help American farmers, President Roosevelt and his administration, started “The Ropes Project” and/or “The Colony”. This area was an area of approximately 16,000 acres northwest of Ropesville, Texas. Approximately 77 families received, by a lottery system, a farm ranging from approximately 120-200 acres. It included a framed two-bedroom house of approximately 792 square feet, a windmill, and a barn. This house is one of the last original houses from the project. Future plans include the addition of a windmill, chicken coop and grainary.
House donated by Larry and Rebecca Smith in loving memory of Mildred Knight Server.

ABOUT THE CENTER
The Buddy Holly Center features 2,500 square feet of gallery space dedicated to the presentation of changing contemporary visual arts programs. These exhibitions are a continuation of a tradition of quality initiatives that were presented by the Lubbock Fine Arts Center from 1984 – 1998. With the relocation of the Fine Arts Center to the Buddy Holly Center in 1999, we continue the commitment to present challenging visual arts exhibitions that serve as a crucial resource for showcasing contemporary arts of the region and the nation.
Art is a form of communication independent of language… It is a way of manifesting human uniqueness. It is a way of reminding us that life is infinitely fragile, infinitely precious. – Norman Cousins
The Buddy Holly Center, a historical site, has dual missions; preserving, collecting and promoting the legacy of Buddy Holly and the music of Lubbock and West Texas, as well as providing exhibits on Contemporary Visual Arts and Music, for the purpose of educating and entertaining the public. The vision of the Buddy Holly Center is to discover art through music by celebrating legacy, culture and community.
Exhibitions and programs reflect the diverse cultural characteristics of the region and encourage interaction between artists and the community. The Center collects, preserves and interprets artifacts relevant to Lubbock’s most famous native son, Buddy Holly, as well as to other performing artists and musicians of West Texas. Changing exhibitions in the visual arts provide an arena for celebrating the technical virtuosity and creative talents of fine artists at work in a region distinguished by vast distances and a rich tradition of creative resources.
The West Texas Walk of Fame, featuring the Buddy Holly statue, by sculptor Grant Speed, is located inside the Buddy and Maria Elena Holly Plaza, just west of the Center, on the corner of Crickets Avenue and 19th Street.

To date, CASP has started an artist-in-residency program by building four live/work studios at 1010 Mac Davis Lane. CASP has remodeled the old city police garage at 5th Street and Avenue J into cooperative working studios containing the Helen DeVitt Jones Print Studio, the CH Foundation Metal Studio and Foundry, and the 5&J Gallery that hosts monthly art shows. CASP has opened the Satellite Gallery, a downtown art gallery for the Texas Tech School of Art that is housed in the police garage. The CASP Print and Metals Studios are available for public use and offer classes and workshops for both beginners and professional artists.

Gallery 6
https://www.depts.ttu.edu/museumttu/exhibitions/2019/notsolonestar.php
Not-So-Lone Star Studios: A Gathering of Texas Makers, highlights work from 34 artists and makers currently residing in Texas whose creative practices engage in the conceptual dialogue of contemporary jewelry and metalsmithing. As a rule, artists have been invited through a word-of-mouth selection process. In this way, a survey of makers has been collected organically through a series of personal recommendations further narrowed by standards of conceptual integrity.
In conjunction with the exhibition, The Museum of Texas Tech will host the 2019 Texas Metals Symposium on October 12, an event open to the Public.
Cotton and Thrift: Feed Sacks and the Fabric of American Households
June 25 – December 15, 2019
http://www.depts.ttu.edu/museumttu/exhibitions/2019/CottonandThrift.php
This exhibit will showcase the almost 6,000 examples of printed cotton sacks, likely the largest at a public institution, in the collection of the Museum of Texas Tech University. This “free fabric” that held flour, sugar, chicken feed and other household staples was important to those during the difficult times of the early 20th century. In the 1930s in an effort to fight off the competition from paper sacks, the cotton manufacturers printed their bags with pretty prints. From this fabric Americans made clothing, quilts, curtains and toys. Many remember going with their parents to select the bags with their favorite fabrics. The exhibit will feature swatches, embroidered pieces, quilts, clothing and other household items made from cotton sacks and accompanies a book published by Texas Tech University Press of the same name.
Evolution of a Museum – in Building and Purpose
July 14, 2019 – December 10, 2019
http://www.depts.ttu.edu/museumttu/exhibitions/2019/museum-evolution.php
The Museum of Texas Tech University celebrates its 90th anniversary during 2019. Join us through the year as we show off the Museum’s history and some of our extraordinary collections.

Chess: The Original Game of Thrones
May 11, 2019 – December 1, 2019
https://www.depts.ttu.edu/museumttu/exhibitions/2019/chess.php
Just as the popular television show centers on the struggle for the Iron Throne, the goal of chess is to capture the opposing king.
While the battles on the chess board are not quite as bloody as in the fantasy world of the Game of Thrones, chess does require tactics, planning, cunning, and courage.
In the exhibition Chess: The Original Game of Thrones, the Museum of Texas Tech University gives you a look at the centuries-long history of the game, as well as descriptions of the chess pieces and the popularity of the game from its beginnings through today.
While the exact origin of the game is not known, historians believe it began in the 6th century in India. From there it moved to Persia, and by the 10th century had spread across Eurasia and North Africa.
The strategy needed to win a bloodless battle over an opponent has appealed to nobility and the masses since its inception. The game was so popular that King Louis IX of France banned gambling to curtail betting on chess games. In England, Kings Henry I, Henry II and Richard the Lionhearted and Ivan the Terrible of Russia were all patrons of the game.
Chess: The Original Game of Thrones showcases numerous elegant and unique chess sets courtesy of the OS Museum in Post, Tx and looks at chess in the popular media, from Alice through the Looking-Glass to Star Trek and Harry Potter. Texas Tech has a world-class chess team lead by a grand master player, the highest ranking available in the game. The exhibition profiles the successes of the team and its members over the years.
Visit the exhibit. Learn the history of the original war game. Test your skill at capturing the King.

CHANGING WORLDS: DINOSAURS, DIVERSITY AND DRIFTING CONTINENTS
Changing Worlds looks at dinosaurs of different types, offers theories about how the earth was formed, how dinosaurs developed and eventually disappeared.
The exhibit features the work of the Museum’s own internationally known paleontologist Dr. Sankar Chatterjee – whose work seems to establish that today’s birds were likely yesterday’s dinosaurs. Most scientists believe birds evolved during the Jurassic time. But Dr. Chatterjee has discovered Protoavis – it’s about a 210 million-year-old – much older than other scientists think birds developed.

CURRENT EXHIBITS – NATIONAL RANCHING HERITAGE CENTER: –
Celebrating Quanah Parker Day in Texas
September 14, 2019 – Mid October 2019
Items in this exhibit were given by Quanah to three generations of the Samuel Burk Burnett family, owners of the Four Sixes Ranch in Guthrie, Texas. These gifts remained at the Four Sixes Ranch house long after Burnett’s death. The collection was given to the National Ranching Heritage Center by Anne Marion, Burnett’s great-granddaughter and owner of the historic Four Sixes Ranch. These gifts include headdresses, beaded items, clothing and ceremonial lances. Collectively they provide a glimpse of Comanche life, but the collection also includes items from the Apache, Kiowa and Cheyenne communities as well as the Native American Church.
The Life and Times of a Texas Icon, Charles Goodnight
Depicted in sketches and paintings by artist Lee Cable.
This exhibit presents a visual portrayal of many of the events in Goodnight’s life that made him a legend.
Beef Cattle Breeds History Exhibit
“The exhibit emphasizes the timeline of the industry over the past 300 years,” explained exhibit co-curator Julie Hodges, Helen DeVitt Jones Director of Education at the center. Hodges worked with Dr. Ryan Rathmann, associate professor in the Department of Animal and Food Science at Texas Tech University and holder of the John W. and Doris Jones Professorship.
“This exhibit is a unique collection of historic photographs, life-size models of cattle and interactive kiosks that will give our visitors a hands-on experience,” Hodges said. Funding for the exhibit was provided by the CH Foundation, and resources for educators will be available on the center’s website at nrhc.ttu.edu.
“While the culture that surrounds ranching has captured the hearts and minds of people from around the world, ranching at its base has always been about providing food and fiber—especially beef—for a growing population,” Hodges said.
Visitors to the exhibit will discover that Christopher Columbus brought the first cattle—Spanish Andalusian—to the Americas during his second voyage to the Caribbean Islands in 1493. In the Southwest, Spanish Andalusian cattle later became known as Texas Longhorns. Shorthorn cattle were imported to the eastern United States as early as 1783, followed by Herefords in 1817 and Angus in 1873.

Created in 1989, The Vietnam Center and Archive is home to the largest collection of Vietnam related material outside the U.S. National Archives. The Vietnam Center and Archive collects and preserves the documentary record of the Vietnam War, and supports and encourages research and education regarding all aspects of the American Vietnam Experience.
About the Vietnam Center
In May 1989, a group of Vietnam veterans from West Texas gathered at Texas Tech University to discuss what they might do, in a positive way, about their experiences in Vietnam. That group’s immediate decision was to form a Vietnam Archive and begin collecting and preserving materials relating to the American Vietnam experience.
In November 1989, the Board of Regents of Texas Tech University established the Vietnam Center, with the dual missions of funding and guiding the development of the Vietnam Archive and encouraging continuing study of all aspects of the American Vietnam experience.
The group of veterans who first met in May 1989 were invited to form a board to provide guidance and support for the Vietnam Center. Since then, the Vietnam Center Advisory Board has met regularly to provide advice as the Vietnam Center and Archive at Texas Tech has evolved. Many of the veterans who attended the first meeting in May 1989 continue to advise the Vietnam Center today. In this way, the Vietnam Center remains very closely connected to America’s Vietnam Veteran community.
The mission of the Vietnam Center at Texas Tech University is to support and encourage research and education regarding all aspects of the American Vietnam experience; promoting a greater understanding of this experience and the peoples and cultures of Southeast Asia. Its functions are threefold: support for the Vietnam Archive and the collection and preservation of pertinent historical source material; promotion of education through exhibits, classroom instruction, educational programs, and publications; and encouragement of related scholarship through organizing and hosting conferences and symposia, academic, educational, and cultural exchanges, and the publishing of scholarly research.
Ogden Williams Collection
The Vietnam Center seeks to provide a forum for all points of view and for all topics relating to Indochina, particularly – but not limited to – the American military involvement there. At our conferences and symposia, we encourage the presentation of papers by veterans and others who directly participated in and supported wartime events as well as by individuals who opposed the war. We encourage participation by our former allies in South Vietnam but also offer the same participation to those who supported the government in Hanoi.
Similarly, we place equal importance upon preserving records relating to all aspects of the Vietnam War. It is as important to us to preserve the records of US veterans, military and civilian, who served in Southeast Asia as well as civilians active on the homefront to include the antiwar movement. We want to preserve a complete history of the war. To do otherwise would be a disservice to history.
In addition to the Vietnam Archive and its component projects, the Vietnam Center administers a number of special projects and events, including scholarships, outreach programs, and Conferences and Symposiums, as well as numerous publications, including the Friends of the Vietnam Center newsletter and the Modern Southeast Asia series in association with the Texas Tech University Press.
The Vietnam Center is also raising money for a new state-of-the-art facility that will house The Vietnam Center, Archive, and Museum. If you are interested in supporting this endeavor, please visit The Vietnam Center Building Site. If you are interested in supporting the Vietnam Center and Archive in other ways, you can contribute to our scholarships or you can donate artifacts and materials to The Vietnam Archive.
About the Archive
The Vietnam Archive mission is to collect and preserve the documentary record of the Vietnam War. The first collection received by the Archive – a package of letters from a Navy hospital corpsman to his family while serving in Vietnam – symbolizes our commitment to preserve the record of individuals and provide greater understanding of their experiences. While the Vietnam Archive continues this commitment as its primary objective, it has expanded its collection policy to include records of veterans’ organizations and scholars of the period as well as other individuals and organizations who share experiences from the war in Vietnam.

Douglas Pike Collection: Other Manuscripts – American Friends of Vietnam
The Vietnam Archive has collected millions of pages of material and tens of thousands of photographs, slides, maps, periodicals, audio, moving images, and books related to the Vietnam War, Indochina, and the impact of the war on the United States and Southeast Asia.
The preservation of historical records provides the principal means for future generations to fully understand the past. Monuments call to mind significant events, but only records provide the basis for historical narratives, insight and understanding. In this way, the Vietnam Archive stands as a living memorial to all those who played some part in the nation’s “Vietnam experience.” Using the Archive, all those who are interested can study and better understand the people, places and events of this critical time in history.
DONATING TO THE ARCHIVE
The Archive accepts donations as small as a single item or as large as hundreds of boxes. Donations do not have to be organized and do not have to pertain to a famous person, event or organization. We accept papers, books, films, audio, moving images, and artifacts. If you are interested in donating to the Vietnam Archive, look for more information in our Information for Donors section.
RESEARCHING
There are two ways to conduct research using Vietnam Archive materials: in person and online, using the information provided in the Information for Researchers section and, more importantly, through the Virtual Vietnam Archive.
CONTACT INFO AND HELP
Contact information for all of the elements of the Vietnam Center and Archive is available. If you are having trouble finding what you are looking for on this website, try our help page or site map.
VETERANS ORGANIZATIONS
Over the past few years, the Vietnam Archive has made a concerted effort to record the histories of veteran’s organizations and their members. The Veterans’ Association section of this website provides more information about our efforts in this area.
VIETNAMESE AMERICAN HERITAGE PROJECT
Created in 2008, the Vietnamese American Heritage Project (VAHP) supports the Vietnam Archive’s mission to document the war from all perspectives by providing documentation of the post-war social and political history of Vietnamese Americans who immigrated to the United States during and after the Vietnam conflict. A component of the archive, the VAHP is comprised of a full time Vietnamese American Heritage Archivist and one part time student assistant who collect, preserve, and make accessible to the public materials that document the experiences and contributions of Vietnamese Americans in American society. The VAHP aims to enhance the study of the Vietnamese immigration and resettlement experience by providing reference services to researchers and increasing Vietnamese American participation in the archive’s Oral History Project, conducting outreach activities, and developing cooperative relationships with other institutions dedicated to preserving Vietnamese American’s rich heritage.
TEACHERS’ RESOURCES WEB
The goal of the Teachers Resource Web is to aid educators and students who teach and take classes on the Vietnam War. The site is intended to assist teachers and students at all levels – from primary school to college. Site materials are designed to accommodate a range of teaching and learning situations from a single 50-minute lecture that is part of a general US history class to a semester or quarter-long dedicated course focusing exclusively on the Vietnam War.
VIETNAM GRAFFITI PROJECT
Richard H. MacKinnon Collection [VA066112]
The Vietnam Graffiti Project is dedicated to preserving and providing access to a remarkable array of historical material from various ships that supported United States military forces in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. The materials you will find here include bunk canvases, ships logs, nautical charts, and other artifacts and documents. The collection provides insight into life onboard these ships, especially troop transports.
CDEC DIGITIZATION PROJECT
The Combined Document Exploitation Center (CDEC) Microfilm Collection consists of 954 reels of documents captured from North Vietnamese and Vietcong forces during the Vietnam War. Materials from this collection are being added to the Virtual Vietnam Archive daily, and plans are underway to make the entire collection available online, including original metadata collected when the materials were filmed.
ORAL HISTORIES AND DIGITAL MATERIALS
In addition to its mission of collecting materials concerning Vietnam, the Vietnam War, and Southeast Asia, the Vietnam Archive currently administers two projects, the Oral History Project and the Virtual Vietnam Archive.
The Oral History Project
In 1999 the Vietnam Center and Archive initiated the Oral History Project (OHP). The history of the wars in Southeast Asia is not complete without the inclusion of the voices of those who were in some way involved. To that end, the mission of the OHP is to create and preserve a more complete record of the wars in Southeast Asia by preserving, through recorded interviews, the recollections and experiences of all who were involved in those wars. There is no political agenda in the development of the Archive or the Oral History Project. Anyone can participate, whether an American veteran, a former ally or enemy of the U.S., an anti-war protester, a government employee, a family member of a veteran, etc. The more breadth and depth the OHP has in its participants, the better and more authentic the collection and preservation of the history of the wars will be.
The Virtual Vietnam Archive
Earl R. Rhine Collection [VAN018343]
The Virtual Vietnam Archive enables scholars, students and all others interested in this remarkable period in our world history to conduct research directly from universities, schools, libraries, and homes. Of equal importance, it will enable Vietnam veterans – those who actually served – to access records that might be of importance to them in their continuing efforts to understand their own experiences. It will facilitate the research and writing of participants’ memoirs and will give high school and college students an important and authoritative source of information as they seek to understand the complexities of the Vietnam War.
When the Virtual Vietnam Archive project is complete, it will include a record for every item in the Vietnam Archive. All non-copyrighted items are available online, free of charge. The Virtual Archive currently includes finding aids for all Vietnam Archive collections, and over 4 million pages of materials online, including documents, photographs, slides, negatives, audio and moving image recordings, artifacts, and oral histories. New items are being added daily.
The Virtual Vietnam Archive employees a number of full-time employees, and numerous part-time student workers, both graduate students and undergrads. Materials are digitized using a variety of equipment, including HP flatbed scanners, Fujitsu high-speed and flatbed scanners, an EPSON large bed scanner, Nikon slide scanner, HP large format scanner/plotter, Otari reel-to-reel and cassette digitization system, an Elmo 16mm film digitizer, and an 8mm film digitizer. Digitized materials are stored on three Dell servers, with backup copies stored onsite in a cold storage vault. The Virtual Vietnam Archive utilizes a relational database system (Cuadra Star) produced by Cuadra Associates.
Michael Ray Goode Collection
Institute of Museum and Library Services Primary funding for the Virtual Vietnam Archive has been provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. For more information about the people and organizations who have made the Virtual Vietnam Archive possible.

General Hours: Monday-Friday 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
http://www.swco.ttu.edu/
Since 1925 the Southwest Collection has expanded from a single archive documenting early ranches to a member of the Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library, which includes TTU’s University Archives; The Sowell Family Collection in Literature, Community, and the Natural World; the Crossroads of Music Archive; and an extensive Rare Books Collection. The SWC/SCL is also home to hundreds of rare maps and thousands of scholarly monographs and fictional works on Texas, the U.S., and the world. It also preserves extensive audio/visual holdings in every imaginable type of media, as well as thousands of oral histories.
The Remnant Trust, Inc., and the Vietnam Center and Archive are also housed in the SWC/SCL building. The Remnant Trust, Inc., makes available hundreds of rare manuscripts that they display freely to schools and the general public. The Vietnam Center collects and preserves the documentary record of the Vietnam War and the American Vietnam experience. It is one of the largest collections of its kind in the world.
The items on display have rarely, if ever, been exhibited. They remind us that archival and special collections are more than pieces of paper filed away in boxes. They are also the unique, tangible evidence of a person’s existence; how they lived, how they thought, and how we all remember them.
Chris Oglesby Collection
The Crossroads of Music Archive, located in the Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library (SWC/SCL) at Texas Tech, is proud to announce that the Chris Oglesby collection is now open for research. Oglesby donated his research materials for his book “Fire in the Water, Earth in the Air: Legends of West Texas Music” to the archive in January 2016. His collection contains biographies, correspondence, literary works of the author and others, photographs, song lyrics, audio interviews and more.
An exhibit curated by the archivist for the Crossroads of Music Archive, Curtis Peoples, Ph.D., and fabricated by Lyn Stoll, is located in the Coronelli Globe Rotunda at the SWC/SCL located on the Texas Tech campus at 15th Street and Detroit Avenue. The exhibit is a small collection of snapshots highlighting some of the artists found within the book, including Tommy Hancock, Terry and Jo Harvey Allen, Joe Ely, Kimmie Rhodes and others.
Sept. 1, 2016, marks the 10th anniversary of the book’s publication.

CENSORED! WALT WHITMAN’S LEAVES OF GRASS
May 1, 2014 –
A new exhibit at the SWC/SCL explores Walt Whitman’s controversial masterpiece, Leaves of Grass. From its first appearance in 1855 until Whitman’s death in 1892, this collection of poems was often the target of censors due to its frank portrayal of sensual pleasure.
The Marc Reisner Collection is now open for research.
The Southwest Collection/Special Collections Building
A gallery along the north side of the building houses permanent displays on the Southwest Collection as well as the other units of the University Library, which have offices in the facility. Those offices include the University Archives, the Archive of the Vietnam Conflict and the Library’s Rare Books Collection. Additionally, the facility is the home for editorial offices of the West Texas Historical Association and its annual yearbook.
Offices in the building open onto a rotunda beneath the third tower. The Library’s 1688 Coronelli Globe is displayed in the rotunda.
Behind the offices are the non-public areas of the facility where documents and materials are processed. The building includes an accessioning area where materials are received and logged in. From there materials, whether paper records, photographs or films/audiotapes/video tapes, go to their specific areas for processing before they are taken to the stacks or the appropriate vault for storage.
Upstairs the stacks area offers a climate-controlled environment that provides a constant temperature and humidity as well as a positive ventilation outflow which helps prevent the intrusion of bacteria or fungi which could damage valuable books and documents.
Additionally, the facility has a conservation laboratory funded by the Hoblitzelle Foundation. The Hoblitzelle Conservation Lab will provide an appropriate environment for state-of-the-art preservation of valuable and one-of-a-kind materials.

Blaise Ryndes (pronounced Rhine-dees) is a master bubble performer and magician. He started working professionally doing birthday parties and school assemblies in the Tampa Bay area. He also became a balloon artist and began twisting balloons in local restaurants. However, his first big break came in 2013 when at 12 years old, he was hired to be the featured entertainer for the grand opening of the St. Joseph’s Hospital Pediatric Emergency Room in Tampa. It was a black tie gala and the patrons loved him. That spawned a career that has seen him perform literally hundreds of shows for thousands of people for such notable clients as Disney, The Florida Aquarium, The Tampa Bay Rays, The Tampa Bay Lightning, John’s Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, The National Pediatric Cancer Foundation, The Boston Children’s Museum, The Museum of Science and Industry and many more. Blaise is constantly working to expand his performance horizons and to bring fresh and exciting material to his act. Most recently, at the “ripe old age” of 17, Blaise was featured on the hit TV Show America’s Got Talent during the Summer of 2018!
Spheres performances will be held at 11:30am, 2:00pm & 4:00pm during BubbleFest. For more information on Blaise Ryndes or his show visit, http://www.spheresbubbleandmagicshow.com/.
BubbleFest activities are included with standard museum admission. Free for Science Spectrum Members. Tickets may be purchased at the door.
