Need help with your Texas history homework?
Or with that research report due next week?
Don't know where to look for local facts and information?
Then check out the Handbook of Texas Online! It's a free, easy-to-use encyclopedia that has thousands of articles on Texas history, geography, and culture.
For a quick start, use one of the student guides listed below to get an outline of the most important articles on major subjects:
4th Grade Student Guide
7th Grade Student Guide
For more information, you can use the Handbook's browse lists to look at lists of article titles. Or you can use the search engine to search through all of the articles for a particular topic.
Want to know what happened in Texas history on your birthday? Or just read some cool stories about important, interesting, or even weird things that happened in Texas? Try a visit to our Texas Day by Day site. You can see the story for the day, or look through the archive for your special day!
Try creating your own story by using the Handbook search engine. In the search box, enter a date (month and day, in quotation marks, for example: "October 20"), and click on the search button. You'll get a list of every article that includes the date you entered.
