THE SAM HOUSTON REGIONAL LIBRARY AND RESEARCH CENTER
LIBERTY, TEXAS      

A part of the State Archives Division of the Texas State Library, it serves as the Regional Depository for Southeast Texas which is defined as the ten counties of Chambers, Hardin, Jasper, Jefferson, Liberty, Newton, Orange, Polk, San Jacinto, and Tyler.  Primarily a research facility for the general public, the Center collects items that document the history of Southeast Texas.  Its holdings include local government records, manuscripts, artifacts, books, maps, photographs, oral history tapes, newspaper, microfilms and archives of individuals, families, businesses and social organizations.  Even though Shelby County is not included in this, this is a great resource for genealogy research.  Your library can interloan any of the above counties records that are available.  Please check with your local librarian.
