a biography
of Sidney R. Weisiger from the Handbook of Texas Online.
The Weisiger collection, archivally speaking, is a combination
of materials. Much of it is composed of his own research notes,
correspondence, speeches, and records of his own involvement with
historical and genealogical organization. This about half the collection.
The other part is materials that he collected from various sources,
and includes court records, correspondence of local people, records
of businesses, photographs, brochures, maps, and many other assorted
items.
An inventory of the collection was prepared in the early 1980's
and published as:
Descriptive Study of the Sidney Roper Weisiger Local
History Collection. by Vera B. Johnson. Thesis (M.A.)--University
of Houston-Victoria, 1983.
The collection is organized as close to the original arrangement
as possible. No attempt has been made to separate by types of material;
but to organize everything by subject regardless of form. The collection
falls into roughly 9 components:

- Sidney's Journal. Sidney R. Weisiger: compiled by Hilda
