Independent Proxy Researchers

Due to staffing constraints, the UTSA Archives and Special Collections' staff is not able to provide in-depth research services as part of its reference function. Only simple, ready reference queries can be addressed via correspondence and telephone.

The proxy researchers listed below have requested that their names be given to people who are unable to visit the UTSA Archives and Special Collections in person to conduct extensive research. Inclusion within this list does not imply endorsement by the University of Texas at San Antonio Archives and Special Collections, nor does the UTSA Archives and Special Collections assume responsibility for arrangements made with these researchers. The UTSA Archives and Special Collections will not recommend researchers. Please contact these researchers directly concerning fees and arrangements.
