Partnering with citizens interested in celebrating and promoting Hispanic heritage in Williamson County, The Williamson Museum is seeking help from area residents to expand the Hispanic representation in its photographic collections. During Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 to October 15), we are seeking photographs, both old and new, for inclusion in photographic collections and exhibitions. Selected photographs will be used in exhibits at the Round Rock Public Library and The Williamson Museum in May 2010.

The Williamson Museum is hosting two sessions where individuals may submit a photograph, either to be scanned or the original print, providing historical information and signing a release form so that the photograph(s) may be used in future endeavors. Donors are welcome to submit more than one photograph.

If you are interested in participating, please contact Lisa Worley, Museum Curator, at 512-943-1673 or lworley@williamsonmuseum.org to set up an appointment on Saturday, September 26, or Saturday, October 3, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.

The mission of the Museum is to collect and interpret items that promote the unique culture and heritage of Williamson County. For more information, The Williamson Museum’s website at www.williamsonmuseum.org.
