The Texas Heritage Project conducts humanities-based research to assemble never-before-made-public family artifacts of historical significance to the South-Central Texas region.
To develop the archive/repository, the Project holds community-based events called "History Harvests" during which families gather to display their family's artifacts. Together they celebrate their cultural identity and the efforts of the Indigenous/Latino communities that contributed and continue to contribute to the rich cultural history and heritage of the region.
