The Travis County Historical Commission (TCHC) was started in 1963 as enabled by the Texas Legislature, with the goal of preserving the history of Travis County and continues this mission to the present. They are governed by the County Commissioners Court. Part of a larger initiative to preserve county and city histories by the state of Texas, the TCHC was originally called Travis County Historical Survey Committee, switching names in 1972. The TCHC meets monthly and currently makes its minutes available online.
The primary function of the Travis County Historical Commission is to identify, research and recognize historic sites and buildings in Travis County. They also assist individuals with research and work closely with the Texas Historical Commission in order to provide official markers for these notable locations. Furthermore, since its inception, TCHC has sponsored dedication ceremonies for these markers. Additionally, beginning in 1997, the TCHC sponsored a historical essay-writing contest for middle school students. They also do significant ongoing research into Austin area cemeteries, culminating in a detailed inventory and providing detailed analyses of both known and previously unknown cemeteries.
The TCHC has also collaborated with authors in publishing works, both full length books and pamphlets. In particular, Mulkey Owens’ research materials for his book Travis County in Stone, Bronze and Aluminum are included in the collection. Additionally, the TCHC participated in the creation of a portion of the index for the Handbook of Texas.
The commission may have no more than thirty members, with officers consisting of chairperson, vice-chairperson, secretary and treasurer. They also have four standing committees: dedications, research, new projects and public relations, each of which has its own chair.
Return to the Table of Contents
The Travis County Historical Commission Records consists of correspondence, minutes, agendas, operational documentation, financial records, membership lists and records, and research materials related to the Commissions’ cemetery project and historical markers, dating from 1967 to 2006, although the records documenting the early activities of the commission are sparse. The records document the Commissions’ activities researching historical sites and facilitating applications to the Texas Historical Commission for official markers and sponsoring preservation in Travis County. A relatively small number of photos are also included in the collection, primarily documenting the historical essay competition and various historical marker dedications.
The materials are organized into five series: general administration, commission chair, historical sites and markers, special projects and cemeteries. The general administration series contains materials that document the organization and functions of the Commission throughout its history, including membership rosters, awards, general history about the historical markers program, the commissions’ bylaws, clippings and newsletters. The newsletters may also be found in the correspondence section of individual chairs. The series related to commission chairs documents the day-to-day activities of the commission. Within the commissioner series, there are some missing materials that are noted in the scope and contents notes for each sub-series. The materials in the historical markers series include applications, research, and materials related to the dedication of historical markers. Historical markers research is also documented, consisting primarily of correspondence, applications and some research notes. Also documented in the collection is research related to the cemetery project, such as notes, contacts, drafts of listings and other related materials.
