Sam Houston Regional Library and Research Center

The Sam Houston Regional Library and Research Center in Liberty is a facility with exhibit areas, archives, libraries, meeting rooms, and offices. It focuses on preserving and providing access to materials about local and regional history.

The facility was established in 1973 when former Governor Price Daniel and his wife Jean donated 117 acres of land for its construction. A decade later, another land gift expanded the site to support its growing mission.

The center preserves materials about Southeast Texas history, including local government records, rare books, manuscripts, and photographs. These collections tell stories about how people in this region have lived and worked together over time.

Visitors should note this is a research facility, so accessing archives may require time and patience to locate specific materials. It helps to have a clear idea of what you are looking for before your visit to make the most of your time there.

The facility serves as the official historical records repository for ten Southeast Texas counties, storing documents that would otherwise be scattered or hard to access. This role makes it an important stop for anyone researching the history of these ten counties.
