SOUTHWEST COLLECTION DONATIONS
Do you have High Rider merchandise, mementos and memorabilia looking for a forever home?
The Texas Tech University Southwest Collections Archives houses the official High Riders collection — and we want to help it grow! If you have memorabilia you’re ready to donate, please bring it to the 50th Anniversary Weekend on April 17–19. A collection area will be available at both Friday and Saturday events, and the Southwest Collection will provide a short form to accompany each donation. We are looking for all items to add to the collection!
As you prepare to join us, take a moment to look through your High Rider keepsakes. Let’s make sure future generations know who High Riders truly are!
Please note that once items are donated to the collection, they cannot be removed. If the Southwest Collections does not accept an item of yours, they will be returned to you. If you have questions, please contact Leslie Young at leslie63young@gmail.com or 806.231.7506
If you are unable to attend the 50th Anniversary Weekend and have items you would like to donate, please mail them to Leslie Young at: 216 Cimaron Trail, Borger, TX 79007
