THE ESSAYS IN THIS VOLUME are an outcome of the Twenty-eighth Annual
Walter Prescott Webb Memorial Lectures held at the University of Texas
at Arlington (UTA). The theme of the 1993 lectures-Changing Images of
the Southwest-has a broad appeal to scholars, students, and the interested public. By focusing on the Southwest, these essays also call attention to
UTA's growing commitment to encourage historical scholarship in the region. These efforts have gained increased recognition through the creation in 1991 of the UTA Center for Greater Southwestern Studies and
the History of Cartography. The center itself complements and works closely
with the university library's Special Collections-a major archive of historical documents, maps, prints, and other materials-encompassing the vast
region of the Greater Southwest.
