DATA ENTRIES will cover events at the Mary Evelyn Blagg-Huey Library in Denton, Texas, as well as developments in public services and the Woman's Collection. Perhaps it's not surprising that Texas Woman's University in Denton, Texas, has a "woman's" collection in the library, but the fact that this collection is among the finest in the nation. Begun in 1932, the Woman's Collection contains more than 42,000 books and periodicals, 2500 feet of manuscript and archival records, and approximately 20,000 photographs. Historical manuscripts include the personal papers of Her- mine Tobolowsky, the "Mother of the Texas Equal Legal Rights Amendment," Sarah Weddington (Roe v. Wade), and authors Claire Myers Owens, LaVerne Harrel Clark, and Edith Deen. In addition, the library has collected the records of signi- ficant women's organizations such as the Texas Federation of Women's Clubs, The Texas Federation of Business and Profes- sional Women, the American Association of University Women (Texas), and the Texas state archives of Delta Kappa Gamma. In addition, to add to its growing collection on women in the military, TWU acquired the records of the WASP, Inc., the veterans organization for the Women's Airforce Service Pilots who flew during World War II. _________________________ The information in this section is provided in accor- dance with the copyright notice appearing at the front of this guide.
