Sam Houston Regional Library and Research Center
The Sam Houston Regional Library and Research Center is a component of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission and serves as the official regional historical resource depository for the 10 Southeast Texas counties of Chambers, Hardin, Jasper, Jefferson, Liberty, Newton, Orange, Polk, San Jacinto, and Tyler.
The Center's primary mission is to collect, preserve, and provide access to historically significant state and local government records and publications of the designated region and secondarily to serve as a library of Texana and genealogical resources.
Visit the Center's renovated museum featuring the exhibit, Atascosito: The History of Southeast Texas. The exhibit chronicles the region's past through dynamic displays of artifacts, photographs, maps, and historical documents. The exhibit showcases the developments of the area, including its river economy, timber industry, rice agriculture, and expansive oil fields, while also sharing stories of the thousands of years of growth and movement of people through what has become the 10-county region.
Through its collections, historic buildings, and educational exhibits and initiatives, it also honors the distinguished public service of former governors, organizations, and citizens of the Atascosito District.
The Sam Houston Center regularly hosts free public events, including a quarterly book club, family history days, historical re-enactors, astronomy nights, guest lectures, holiday parties, and exhibit- and history-related special events.
