Earl Vandale was one of the most important collectors of Texas books and ephemera, eventually building one of the largest and most valuable collections of Texana in private hands. His collection is now part of the Barker Texas History Center at the University of Texas at Austin. Upon giving up his Texana collection to UT, Vandale immediately began building a new collection of Western Americana.
