Niles J. Fuller photograph collection

 Collection
Identifier: urn:taro:utexas.cah.00528

Scope and Contents

The collection consists of 11x14 photographic prints and .tif files of the Austin music industry and includes musicians, artists, club owners, concert promoters, music journalists, disc jockeys, music video producers, songwriters and record company executives. The photographs were taken in the studio and at other locations in the Austin area. Although Fuller initiated the project, he later obtained support of the Shiner of Austin beer distributorship and the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner. Other artistic and entertainment agencies also contributed to the production of the print portion of the collection. The photographs were exhibited at various Austin restaurants and clubs as "The Shiner Showcase of Austin Music" prior to coming to the Briscoe Center for American History. The .tif files have come to the Center more recently as digital technology became available and include both scans of existing prints and new material.
