Description:

UTSA Libraries Special Collections sustains the university's teaching, research, and outreach mission by preserving and providing access to valuable primary resources, and by creating digital collections for use by students and scholars at UTSA and from around the world. Through its web archiving program, Special Collections uses Archive-It 1) to regularly capture and preserve web content created by UTSA’s administrative units, academic programs, and student life groups as part of our University Archives’ collecting mandate; and 2) to capture websites of organizations and web coverage of topical events that complement and/or supplement our physical collection development strategies.

Tejano and Conjunto Web Collection

Archived since: May, 2010

Description:

Websites, videos, blogs and other resources covering Tejano and Conjunto music. These popular music genres originated from south Texas, with similarities to the Mexican norteño, but is also influenced by several American musical genres and in particular features elements of polka. The basic duo of accordion and bajo sexto (12-string bass guitar) has grown to include other instruments (drum kit, bass guitar, etc.) but these two instruments still characterize the sound of the ensemble. We are not actively crawling the seeds in this collection, but previous crawls are left up for posterity.

Subject:   Society & Culture Tejano music,  Conjunto music
