- The Texas Woman's University Library has revived its
- newsletter DATA ENTRIES and is making it available in elec-
- tronic form through free subscription over the Internet.
-
- DATA ENTRIES will cover events at the Mary Evelyn Blagg-Huey
- Library in Denton, Texas, as well as developments in public
- services and the Woman's Collection.
-
- Perhaps it's not surprising that Texas Woman's University in
- Denton, Texas, has a "woman's" collection in the library,
- but the fact that this collection is among the finest in the
- nation. Begun in 1932, the Woman's Collection contains more
- than 42,000 books and periodicals, 2500 feet of manuscript
- and archival records, and approximately 20,000 photographs.
-
- Historical manuscripts include the personal papers of Her-
- mine Tobolowsky, the "Mother of the Texas Equal Legal Rights
- Amendment," Sarah Weddington (Roe v. Wade), and authors
- Claire Myers Owens, LaVerne Harrel Clark, and Edith Deen.
- In addition, the library has collected the records of signi-
- ficant women's organizations such as the Texas Federation of
- Women's Clubs, The Texas Federation of Business and Profes-
- sional Women, the American Association of University Women
- (Texas), and the Texas state archives of Delta Kappa Gamma.
- In addition, to add to its growing collection on women in
- the military, TWU acquired the records of the WASP, Inc.,
- the veterans organization for the Women's Airforce Service
- Pilots who flew during World War II.
