Abstract: The dust jacket of The State Library and Archives of Texas: A History, 18351962 features a photograph, circa 1946, showing archival worker Marguerite Hester, with one foot perched precariously atop a six-foot ladder and the other on an archives shelf, as she pulls down a bound volume from the very top shelf, almost flush with the ceiling. [...] David B. Gracy II summarizes pictorially the situation that prevailed at the institution responsible for housing a state library, a state archives, a legislative library, and an emerging public library commission and state records management program in Texas.
