 Texas Artists: Paintings, Sculpture, and Works on Paper is a joint digital collections project. The goal of the project is to provide access to a wide range of images of works by Texas artists. The Texas Artists digital collection currently comprises more than 1,000 digitized objects that are held by the three partner institutions. The online holdings may expand to include images from additional institutional collections in the future. The partner institutions include Central University Libraries’ Bywaters Special Collections and Norwick Center for Digital Services (nCDS) at Southern Methodist University; the Dallas Museum of Art; and the Dallas Public Library’s Texas/Dallas History & Archives Division and Fine Books Division. From 2009 to 2011 this project was partially funded and supported by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission as part of the Train to Share program. The Train to Share program was funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which is the primary source of federal support for the nation’s 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. The institute's mission is to create strong libraries and museums that connect people to information and ideas. |  The Otis Dozier Sketchbooks digital collection currently includes nearly 1,500 sketches. When complete, it will make available over 6,200 images that comprise a complete representation of 130 sketchbooks by Texas regionalist artist Otis Dozier (1905–1987). The sketchbooks span Dozier’s artistic career from the 1930s to the 1980s a contain drawings on a variety of subjects, including people, plants, animals, and buildings. This digital collection was created as a joint project between the Dallas Museum of Art, and the Bywaters Special Collections and Norwick Center for Digital Services at Southern Methodist University.
