The Clarence Denman Papers are comprised primarily of notes and drafts Denman used in writing his book, The History of the University of Texas at Arlington, 1895-1917. Included is correspondence exchanged between Denman and others as he conducted research. Other materials consist of photographs and printed materials relating to the University of Texas at Arlington’s previous campuses; these materials were donated to Denman by former students or their relatives. The History of the University of Texas at Arlington, 1895-1917 was never published. The collection is organized in four series. The first series, which contains manuscripts, drafts with corrections, notes, and correspondence relating to Denman’s book, reflects his research. The second series is comprised of photographs, slides, and negatives, which Denman acquired as part of his research into the history of The University of Texas at Arlington. The third series contains printed materials related to the history of UT Arlington. Series IV consists of research files Denman collected as part of his research for his 1930 doctoral dissertation entitled "The Secession Movement in Alabama," which was published by the Alabama State Department of Archives and history in 1933. The materials in Series II and III were collected and given to Denman by former students of the University or by their relatives. This collection would be very useful for anyone researching the history of the University of Texas at Arlington, especially from 1895 to 1917, as well as the history of Alabama in the period before and during the Civil War.
