East Texas Research Center
The East Texas Research Center (ETRC) collects, preserves, and provides physical and virtual access to East Texas’ unique cultural history. The Forest History Foundation, now the Forest History Society, in 1959 designated the ETRC as an official North American Forest History Repository. In addition, the ETRC serves as a Regional Historical Resource Depository (RHRD) for the State of Texas and houses the inactive records for eight East Texas counties. It also is responsible for managing SFA’s Records Management Program and caring for the University’s archives. The outreach efforts include presentations to the University, East Texas, and professional archival communities.
