Use City history to prevent boundary mistakes
University Park's official history traces incorporation around Southern Methodist University and explains why the community developed as a separate city. That record is useful for checking the identity and jurisdiction of an address. It does not authenticate a private work, establish university ownership or exhibition, or prove that an object came from University Park because a Dallas, SMU, or Park Cities reference appears in its description.
Require evidence for each claimed commission, exhibition, artist, and owner. Create a file with maker, title, date, materials, support, dimensions, weight, edition information, inscriptions, labels, condition, restoration, and custody. Photograph front, reverse, edges, mount, frame, backing, and hardware. State whether each source describes University Park, Highland Park, Dallas, or the university rather than collapsing these entities into one place.
