Hello Memories Incorporated Family:
I am proud to announce along with Paul Heckmann and others the Memories Incorporated Special Collections at the University of Texas at Arlington.
This partnership will provide a haven for the treasures donated to Memories of Dallas and Memories Incorporated to be displayed at the University of Texas at Arlington’s Libraries Special Collections and Archives.
We are asking our members to consider the collectibles you own, from Texas primitives to ephemera, collectibles of all sorts or nostalgic signage and promotion items. These items will be seen for decades to come and be enjoyed by people who can only imagine how great things were “back in those days”.
The online “Memories Incorporated Special Collections at University of Texas at Arlington” will showcase your photos of events and times around Dallas/Fort Worth and Texas. Photos donated will be accessible online via a link that will be provided.
We are working with “UTA” on a form that we will be publishing for your use to choose to donate any items. You will simply sign the form and arrangements will be made for pick up of the items. This will be forthcoming soon!
The form will be easy to understand, just fill out the form and sign the two pages, attach the photo you want to add to the Memories Incorporated Special Collections at the University of Texas at Arlington and send to:

As always - We appreciate each and every one of you here - Those who started with Paul Heckmann and those who are with us now as we continue his dream building a family of Dallas nostalgic Facebook Groups - which he has done in amazing fashion!
The everlasting story continues in 2026 to share with you an opportunity to see that your treasures are not donated to a Thrift Store or sold once you are no longer here. . A purpose for it into perpituity is now available..
Thank you -
