The emphasis was on outreach to the
entire state during fiscal year 1980-81 as The
University of Texas Institute of Texan Cultures
at San Antonio sought to serve all Texans as a
learning and communications center for the
ethnic, folk and cultural history of Texas.
National attendance trends indicated that
long-distance travel by the general public was
steadily decreasing. Recognizing this as a
factor in its own planning, The Institute
concentrated on taking its message to the
people of the state, wherever they live.
The year saw The Institute's reach stretch
geographically and quantitatively as
publications, audiovisuals, traveling exhibits
and educational outreach programs touched
people of all ages.
Schools, libraries and individuals
purchased some 16,500 Institute publications
and 1500 audiovisual productions.
Fiscal year 1980-81 was also a period of
intensive research and creative work on new
educational materials to be added to The
Institute's 31 books and pamphlets, and 27
filmstrips, slide sets and video cassettes. Seven
books and four audiovisuals passed through
progressive stages of production in preparation
for their introduction in the next fiscal year.
From EI Paso to Orange, Laredo to
Amarillo, Institute traveling exhibits,
portraying the heritage of Texas, crisscrossed
the state. The exhibits appeared in 72 towns
and' cities, and were viewed by approximately
200,000 visitors in museums, libraries,
shopping malls, schools and civic centers.
Four new traveling exhibits were
produced this year, making a total of 17
topics available for booking statewide.
One of The Institute's educational
outreach programs for area schools became so
popular during its first year of use, the
concept was adapted for distribution
throughout the state.
The program, called TexKits, features
touchable artifacts related to various aspects
of Texas history. Manned by Institute docents
and staff, the kits were enjoyed by more than
20,000 students and adults.
The modification of the TexKit program
into a version designed for use by classroom
teachers evolved into another new product,
Traveling Trunks. Equipped with artifacts,
books, filmstrips, classroom aids and teacher's
guides, the trunks can now be included in
classroom curriculum all over Texas.
While close to one quarter million Texans
were enjoying these outreach products and
programs, The Institute was careful to
maintain the level of excellence in its home
base operations.
More than 403,000 visitors from Texas,
every state in the nation and 82 foreign
countries visited The Institute's facilities in
downtown San Antonio to learn about the
state's heritage. They came to tour the exhibit
floor, watch live demonstrations, attend
exhibit openings and participate in the many
special events, educational programs and
seminars offered during the year.
Perhaps one of the best measures of
success for a public institution is community
support, and in this fiscal year The Institute
enjoyed more of this support than in any
previous year.
Some 275 community members elected to
support The Institute with a commitment of
time, as enrollment in the Alliance volunteer
group swelled by 65 %. An additional 1500
local volunteers and 6000 participants from
around the state helped make the tenth annual
Texas Folklife Festival an unqualified success.
The Institute's Associate program enjoyed
a successful year, too, as membership soared
to 454, a 192% increase over 1979-80.
Monetary support increased dramatically
as individuals, corporations and foundations
contributed more than a half million dollars to
The Institute. Increases of 165% in
memberships and gifts and 295 % in grants
and contracts enabled The Institute to expand
educational outreach projects.
This support is regarded as a vote of
confidence in the services, products and
programs offered by The Institute to the
people of Texas.
Although necessarily brief, the year's
calendar of activities on the following pages
serves to illustrate the scope of educational
opportunities offered by The Institute. The
activities presented here highlight but a few of
the many Institute events through which the
public gains a better understanding and
appreciation of the ethnic diversity and rich
cultural heritage of Texas.
