submit their best world cup photos and videos<\/a> to them for a new special digital collection that will preserve the historic moments here in our host city.<\/p>\nThis week, UTA Libraries said it had about 20 submissions. They’re hoping to get at least 50, but say they will take as many as they get. <\/p>\n
Brett Lawson, from England, who attended his team’s match at Dallas Stadium, was one of the first to submit his memories. <\/p>\n
“It was the first World Cup we’d ever been to,” Lawson said. “I loved being able to go to the game with my son, and a friend of mine sent me the link to post something, and I thought I’d love to share that moment.”<\/p>\n
UTA Libraries opened a World Cup Exhibit to campus during the World Cup, and now it is doing this to forever document the moments experienced by the community and fans from around the world. <\/p>\n
Kathryn Slover is now organizing photos and videos for their new special online collection you’ll be able to access anywhere. People who create submissions are encouraged to tell a short story about their memories that will also be included for everyone to see. <\/p>\n
“We wanted to really document the community’s experience,” Slover said. <\/p>\n
That’s experiences big or small. <\/p>\n
“Whether it was AT&T stadium being redone or,your local watch party…[or if you] happened to spot Erling Haaland in Fort Worth at the stockyards trying on a cowboy hat,” Slover said with a laugh.<\/p>\n
There really are no limits to the historic record reflecting a time of unity and just pure happiness. <\/p>\n
“And I think that’s the point,” Lawson said. “Seeing that camaraderie of all the people, how everybody came together. And this is a great opportunity to once more come together.”<\/p>\n
UTA Libraries has done special collections for other major events in North Texas, like when the Texas Rangers won the World Series and the Total Solar Eclipse. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Missing the world cup?
