Best Resource For Local Lore

Austin History Center

God loves a reference librarian, and so do we. Housed in elegant digs, the Austin History Center is home to one of the premier local history collections in the nation, managed by a staff as knowledgeable as they are kind. The best news? Proposed cuts to the center's budget were never put in place, giving us all more hours to nose around the collection. There's gold in them thar stacks.
