Summary: Donor is the daughter of long-time historian and collector Janie Reid. Janie Reid was highly involved with securing the historic district status for the Fort Worth Stockyards. A native of the North Side with deep roots in its history with Niles City, she actively advocated for preserving the North Side's history and associated identity. While researching numerous sites for their consideration by the State of Texas and U.S. Department of Interior as significant places to be marked and honored, she developed this collection of materials.
