These historical vignettes come to us from Alexandra Oshman, as a result of her research on the St. Mary's Strip, conducted during the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program at Trinity University. Alex spent the summer looking through each issues of the Trinitonian student newspaper to identify ads, guides, and articles about the strip. In all she captured about 600 items. From this we were also able to create the Trinitonian Ad Collection on our Digital Collections Site.
