Audrey Daniels Kariel, elected first woman mayor of Marshall, Texas, in 1994, is a long-time civic and cultural leader of East Texas and the state. She led the movement that founded the Marshall Public Library and played a major role in fund-raising for it, as well as the construction of the Marshall Civic Center Auditorium.
Reports, minutes, correspondence, printed material, clippings, photographs, and memorabilia document the life of Audrey Daniels Kariel and her civic and cultural leadership and influence in Marshall, Texas. Her role in the establishment of the Marshall Public Library is well documented, as are her significant contributions to the Marshall Civic Center and its cultural endeavors. Kariel also was active in transportation issues affecting East Texas, particularly Amtrak, other rail service, and highway development. She served on a variety of transportation committees including the East Texas Council of Governments - Regional Transit Advisory Committee, The Greater Marshall Chamber of Commerce Transportation Committee, Public Transportation Advisory Council-Texas Transportation Commission (TxDOT), and East Texas Corridor Council. Also included in the collection are documents regarding her tenure at Memorial Hospital in Marshall, Texas, her involvement in establishing a local vocational school, and her work in historic and cultural preservation, including restoration of the Harrison County Courthouse. Personal and family materials provide information about her husband Louis Kariel, Jr., and his father Louis Kariel, Sr. Various members of the Kariel and Stein families are represented in a group of family photographs.
