| Series I. Oral Histories,
1985-1991. |
|
|
Arranged alphabetically by last name in 2 sub-series - Transcripts
and Tapes. These interviews were conducted by Johnston with members of
prominent Houston families.
|
|
|
Transcripts sometime include handwritten notes by Johnston as well
as clippings. Johnston conducted these interviews in person, and sometimes met
with the subject more than once, evidenced by multiple cassette tapes.
Occasionally, she also interviewed other family members with the main subject.
Not all transcripts have accompanying tapes, but all existing tapes have
transcripts.

original theses, and essays from encyclopedias and other reference works, as
background material for the book,
Houston, the Unknown
City. Topics range from famous Houstonians such as Ima Hogg, to social
trends and historical events. Most of the files come from secondary sources and
are augmented by Johnston's notes and the occasional photograph.
