Scope and Content¶
This collection consists of the university’s dance and banquet invitations dating back to the beginning of Texas A&M College. These invitations were once owned by students who attended the university/college. Most invitations were produced as a means of communication, due to the limited means of communication in some eras. The invitations cover dates and times that were important to the TAMU/TAMC student body. They can be used to research the sociality of people of the 20th century as well as the late 19th century.
