The Handbook of Texas was the brainchild of past TSHA President Walter Prescott Webb, who boldly declared it would be “a reference to practically any topic on Texas history.” The initial Handbook was published as a two-volume set in 1952, with a supplemental volume published in 1976.
Today, the Handbook is entirely online and includes nearly 27,000 encyclopedic entries on the influential people, eras, and events of Texas history. Its staff of editors continuously works to add and update entries to ensure its accuracy and comprehensiveness.
The Handbook Staff also curates and publishes eBooks, which include content from the Handbook and our other acclaimed publications. Browse our online catalog to see which eBooks are currently available.
