The G20 has produced mixed results. After initial high hopes and some success, negotiations within the G20 forum have slowed, progress is less visible and disagreement rather than agreement has come to the fore. Against this background, this paper revisits the basic economic and geopolitical motivations for the G20, in order to review its performance and attempt to draw lessons for the path ahead. We conclude that: (1) in today's global economy (with its trade and financial market integration and its institutional architecture) a 'G20-type' institution is necessary - if it didn't exist, it should be created; (2) the G20 had its high noon moment in 2008-09 and some recalibration of expectations was inevitable, but its achievements in 2010-11 have nevertheless been disappointing; (3) to be fair there is, in detailed and technical work, more progress than there seems to be at first sight; (4) from a governance standpoint, the G20 is not an efficient forum; improvements in working methods are urgently needed; (5) more fundamentally, for the G20 to retain its role, its members need to develop a common vision of global economic problems and the way to approach them.

The Confederate Graves Survey Archive of the Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans consists of surveys of cemeteries throughout Texas, and portions of Oklahoma and New Mexico. The surveys document the interment of Confederate States of America military veterans. United States of America (Union) veterans, as well as able-bodied men at the time of the Civil War, are also documented. 13 boxes entitled "Grave Surveys" contain grave surveys listed county-by-county, 3 boxes of "Unit Files" list surveyed individuals by their military unit. Finally, 17 boxes contain "Veteran Files" that document each veteran by name in "last name, first name, middle initial" format. An index that cross-references each of the collection series (Grave Surveys, Unit Files, and Veteran Files) is included, as are institutions to surveyors on how and what to document while conducting surveys. ; Nix Cemetery #1013, Lampasas County, Texas | Veterans Interred: Faight, Jesse H. ; Crowell Cemetery #620, Crowell, Foard County, Texas | Veterans Interred: Collins, Dempsey Jones. ; McBee Cemetery #658, Taylor County, Texas | Veterans Interred: Lackey, John. ; North Belton Cemetery #001, Bell County, Texas | Veterans Interred: Taylor, E.O. ; Willow Cemetery #444, Haskell, Haskell County, Texas | Veterans Interred: Lackey, Robert A. ; Killeen Cemetery #024, Killeen, Bell County, Texas | Veterans Interred: McVey, John J. ; Truscott Cemetery #609, Truscott, Knox County, Texas | Veterans Interred: Acker, Dearborn A.
