Houston History Archives
Historical Note
The Houston History Archives were an initiative of the University of Houston Center for Public History's Welcome Wilson Houston History Collaborative, along with Houston History magazine, the UH Memories Project, and the UH Oral History of Houston. The Houston History Archives partnered with the Special Collections department of the University of Houston Libraries to collect, process, preserve, and make available for research and teaching primary sources on energy management and development, environment, Houston's ethnic diversity, and a collection of oral histories from the Center for Public History that continues to grow.
