Archives, a division of the James C. Jernigan Library,
at Texas A&M University-Kingsville, was established to
preserve and make available to the public documents
about the history and natural history of South Texas.
Although the Archives were not officially created until
1982, the systematic accumulation of historical
documents was started by Professor John E. Connor when
he joined the history department shortly after the
creation of the South Texas State Teachers College
in 1925. In 1995 the Archives was merged
into the James C. Jernigan Library. The South Texas Archives is actively involved in the collection of personal papers, business and organizational records, and photographs which depict aspects of South Texas history and natural history.
