Will you stand in defense of Texas history?
We do.
The mission of Texas History Trust is to advocate for fact-based history. We challenge history rooted in critical theory, not critical thinking. We produce high quality videos about Texas history and have created a best-in-class digital research library, putting the source documents of our history at your fingertips.
The Taproot Project: A Research Library In Your Pocket
From your computer, phone or tablet you can read, search and annotate the source documents of Texas history. From Castaneda’s history of Spanish & Mexican Texas to Papers of the Texas Revolution (available exclusively on our site), we have you covered. Tens of thousands of pages await your curious mind.
A Watchful Eye On Texas Historians.
We aren’t afraid to name names. We aren’t afraid of “revisionists,” either. What we know about history changes as the historical record reveals itself. Revisions to history are a net good when rooted in fact and placed in proper context. We shine a light on ideology-driven revisionism and tell you who’s responsible for it. We also recognize Texas historians and organizations who are doing exemplary work.
Telling The Stories Of Texas.
Sometimes the best way to tell a story is visually, particularly now that we spend more time staring at our phones than we do reading books. Texans have done extraordinary things. So we produce videos to tell their stories, from regular folks to the Alamo Defenders.
