The Portal to Texas History announced its most recent call for submissions for the 2024 Rescuing Texas History program. This is the sixteenth year of the program, which has brought to light over 82,000 items from 448 projects. The resources added to The Portal to Texas History from these collections have had more than 19.5 million uses since the program began back in 2006!
Each year, the Rescuing Texas History program offers up to $1,000 of digitization services to applicants. The materials the awardees share with the Portal come from a variety of places including libraries, archives, museums, historical societies, and private collectors.
We are thrilled to announce this year’s awardees!
