 Fine Arts has also become a large focus of their collecting efforts.This includes collections from the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, Ann Holmes, William Camfield, Elinor Evans, and Stages Repertory Theatre.As part of a 2-year grant funded Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) project “Digitizing hidden selections of Houston’s African American and Jewish heritage,” Woodson Research Center will provide public access to collections highlighting the history and experiences of the African-American community in and near Houston, which in turn shed light on nationally significant issues including politics, art, race, and religion.
