Fort Worth Star-Telegram Collection

News photographs created by Fort Worth Star-Telegram newspaper photographers, chronicling the history of Fort Worth and West Texas. The collection consists of approximately 179,500 print photographs (ca. 1849-1986), and an estimated six million film and glass plate negatives (1915-2003). Significant local events, such as the 1936 Fort Worth Centennial celebration, the Southwestern Exposition and Fat Stock Show and Rodeo, the circus, social events, local natural disasters, and goods manufactured in the area are included. Photographs of Texas people form the majority of the collection, which are an invaluable source for the history and biography of the region. The digitized collection materials uploaded to this site are broken down by decade for online access.
