SFA PHOTOGRAPHY
STUDENTS RECAPTURING HISTORIC VIEWS OF NACOGDOCHES
The city of Nacogdoches, Texas,
dates all the way back to the 1700s and is, in fact,
known as the "oldest town in Texas." Intrigued
by the town's past, a group of art students at SFA set
out to recapture historic locations throughout the town.
Using a group of old photos found at the East Texas
Research Center in the Ralph W. Steen Library on the
SFA campus as a guide, they attempted to pinpoint the
exact positions where the pictures were originally taken
and re-photographed the area to show the development
of the town over the past 100 years.
