Live And Silent Auctions
Revive Past Traditions
Auctions of Texana have long been a part of the
TSHA annual meetings. According to Richard
B. McCaslin’s history of the Association, At
the Heart of Texas, the first such event was
implemented by Director Walter Prescott Webb,
and a good time was had by all. Writing in the
April 1939 Southwestern Historical Quarterly,
Webb described that first auction this way:
“On the night of April 28, the Texas State
Historical Association will hold its first book
auction. This auction will be held at the Driskill
Hotel after the annual dinner. The books,
principally Texas items, will be presented by
members of the Association and the proceeds
will go to the Association... Some of the books
will be sold ‘blind,’ and some will contain
a Texas Centennial half dollar, and original
document, and a five dollar bill if someone can
be induced to contribute it... The auctioneer will
be chosen from among the members, and are
sure to know far more about books than they do
about auctioneering.”
Walter P. Webb thought the auctions would
raise money and increase attendance at the
meetings, and they did both. Over the years,
the Association has benefited greatly from the
many auctions, large and small, that have taken
place. Last year, with the help of J. P. Bryan,
who has spearheaded numerous auctions in the
past, the Association revived the tradition of the
Live Auction at the annual meeting, working in
conjunction with Heritage Auction Galleries.
That auction brought in more than $100,000 to
support the organization.
This year J. P. has been working with Auction
Committee chair Ted Lusher of Austin and
committee member Jack Davis of Denton on
a wide ranging strategy in which the El Paso
meeting will host a Live Auction of items that
will be interesting and affordable to all Annual
Meeting attendees. Lonn Taylor of Fort Davis
and Light Cummins of Sherman will be the
auctioneers, and like the TSHA auctioneers of
old, they are assured “to know more about books
than auctioneering.” The idea is to have fun and
raise some money for the TSHA. We hope you
will join us at the Camino Real’s Dome Bar on
Friday, March 4, for some fun and to bid on
great Texana collectibles.
See you in El Paso!
J. Kent Calder
TSHA Executive Director
