Photos: San Antonio MissionsThe photos on this page are from San Jose
Mission known as the Queen of the Missions.
Since updating this page, there are just too many thumbnails for a single download. The photos have now been split into two pages. Page 1 Page 2 In addition to the photos, here are some links that you might find useful to give you additional information on the site. Teaching with Historic Places from the National Park Service: San Antonio Missions - The Spanish Influence in Texas http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/twhp/wwwlps/lessons/2sanantonio/2sanantonio.htm If you haven't had a chance to check out the lessons available from Teaching with Historic Places, then you are really missing out on something. Here is a complete unit of study on the Spanish Influence in Texas through the lens of the missions. San Antonio Missions: http://hotx.com/missions/ This site has taken information from the National Park Service and put together short, informative summaries on each of the missions. San Antonio Missions National Historic Park: http://www.nps.gov/saan/ This is the official site for the park. Nature and Science at the Missions: http://data2.itc.nps.gov/nature/index.cfm?alphacode=saan The Nature and Science link from the Missions park site talks about a number of features that relate to other aspects of Texas history. For example, consider the location of the missions with regard to the Balcones Escarpment and the Blackland Prairie and then consider the cattle drives after the civil war and the Chisholm Trail. Also, check out the picture near the bottom that shows the early version of a "lighter." The technology is rather intriguing. Are there other technologies from this era that might change the way we think about the people of that time? You have items like the rice trunks that have stood the test of time for hundreds of years. You can see a photo of this under Photos: Santee. Click here to explore how you might pull this together in a multimedia authoring environment. Clicking on the thumbnail of the photo will take you to the larger image. Most are around 640x480 and average around 50 kb each for file size. VR's from the mission are available under the main page for VR's at this site.
