As requested: Resources from the Texas Historical Commission

At  the first meeting of the Kerr County Museum Focus Group, several people wondered what resources were available from the Texas Historical Commission.  My research yielded the following:

The main webpage for help with museums can be found at http://www.thc.texas.gov/preserve/projects-and-programs/museum-services  That page is worth a visit.

The services offered by the Texas Historical Commission appear to be extensive, and a visit to their website can be overwhelming.  However, it is reassuring to know there are resources available to communities hoping to build a historical museum.

Here are some highlights you might like to check out:

  • To read frequently asked questions about the museum services offered by the Texas Historical Commission, click here.
  • To see what publications are available, click here.
  • To see what grants and funding are available, click here.

I hope this helps the group.
