http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/46670421

Photographs, ephemera, newspaper clippings, and printed materials comprise the bulk of this collection donated by the great-grandson of San Jacinto Veteran Robert B. Russell and related to the Russell and Campbell families and southeast Texas. Of particular interest are 56 photographs (1865-1901) which document 27 acquaintances of Julia Russell from her school days at Incarnate Word Academy in Houston and Hamilton Female College in Lexington, Kentucky. Nine photographs contain images of family members including Robert B. Russell and Lavinia Brownrigg Russell. Orange, Texas and the Sabine River country are the subjects of another 11 photographs. A collection of dance cards (1891-1894), National Recovery Administration (NRA) stickers (1933-1936) and 20 Boy Scout items including membership cards, badge cards, and certificates (1924-1938) are also of interest. The collection contains a copy of the catalog of an exhibit held in Los Angeles in 1935 honoring S. Seymour Thomas, whose portrait of Sam Houston hangs in the San Jacinto Museum of History, a boy's Sunday School class roll book from Orange, Texas, and a photostat map of the Sabine River.
