Scope and Content
The collection documents Dallas's participation in the Sister Cities and Relationship Cities programs and its efforts to build cultural, educational, and economic connections with partner municipalities worldwide. The records reflect planning and activities related to official visits, cultural exchanges, community events, and ongoing communication between Dallas and its international counterparts.
Materials include correspondence, memoranda, program files, itineraries, schedules, reports, photographs, newspaper clippings, and documentation of official events. A substantial portion of the collection relates to Dallas's relationship with Sendai, Japan, including anniversary travel, marathon participation, and student exchange programs. Additional files document relationships with cities in the Czech Republic, France, Iraq, Mexico, China, Latvia, Russia, and Taiwan. Some partnerships represented in the collection are designated as Relationship Cities rather than formal Sister Cities.
