Arrangement of the Papers
The South by Southwest Collection represents the reorganized materials from six separate collections, all bearing the name South by Southwest.
The South by Southwest materials retained here have been arranged in thirteen series based on subject. Due to the nature of the previous six finding aids, this reorganization is an item-level inventory of materials. Many items in this collection are print materials, and the following definitions have been used in their description: A leaflet is a single sheet with a single fold. A pamphlet is a single sheet with multiple folds. A brochure is a stapled or string bound publication of up to sixteen pages. A booklet is a stapled, string, or perfect bound publication of more than 16 pages or more than two signatures.
The collection is organized into the following series:
- Business and finance, 1839-1928
- Clubs, fraternal orders, and labor unions, 1855-1932
- Reconstruction, 1866-1876
- Religion, 1837-1957
- Education, 1875-1992
- Politics and government, 1852-1992
- Fairs, amusements, entertainment, 1887-1959
- Booster materials, 1908-1941
- Biographies and autobiographies, 1852-1953
- Railroads, 1854-1909
- Courts and legal affairs, 1826-1929
- Writers and literature, 1890-1944
- Maps and property records, circa 1876-1944
Acquisition Information
The South by Southwest Collection was purchased by the Special Collections Department from South by Southwest Books of Fayetteville, Arkansas in a series of transactions from 1974 to 1984.
Separated Materials
Many items originally placed in the previous separate collections were removed during the reorganization to more appropriate divisions within the department such as the map collection, the Arkansas Collection, and the broadside collection. All removals have been documented within a special folder in the accession files for South by Southwest.
Processing Information
Reorganized by Kim Allen Scott in August 1989.
Collection contents were originally processed as seven distinct collections: MS So87 212 212A; MS So87s 233, 233D-E; MS So87s2 233F; MS So87s2 351E; MS So87s3 271, 300, 342, 342A, 470, 471; MS So87s4 479; and MS So87s5 380, 395, 396, 397.
In August 2020, two remaining items (Box LOC C1353B and Box LOC C1353C) from MS 8087s4 479 that had not been incorporated into MC 971 in 1989 along with the rest of the collection materials, were incorporated into MC 971 by Katrina Windon. In January 2021, an additional item that had been acquired in 1982 was incorporated as Box 8, Folder 5, Item 5 by Katrina Windon. In December 2022, additional materials that had been acquired circa 1986-1992 were incorporated into the collection as Boxes 9-10 by Katrina Windon.
