Joe O. Crawley Family Papers 1894-1982

The Crawley Family Papers provide a unique and humanistic perspective on the formative years of the City of Arlington and the University of Texas at Arlington. WWII correspondence to Mrs. Joe Crawley documents this important time in world history from the perspectives of former NTAC cadets serving in the armed forces. The papers include many interesting details that create a sketch of civic, educational, and economic development during the early years of Arlington. Those interested in the history and development of Arlington and/or the history of the University of Texas at Arlington will find these materials helpful. Researchers interested in World War II will find many insights and details in the WWII correspondence. The Joe Crawley business records series will be of use to architects, historic preservation advocates and others with an interest in the architectural history of Arlington. The Arlington High School Roaring 20s correspondence may be useful to sociologists and educators since it tracks individuals from one high school class in Arlington for several decades.
