Welcome to the Houston Public Library Digital Archives. Here you will find unique materials for research, learning, and discovery from Houston Public Library Special Collections, including archival material from the African American History Research Center at the Gregory School (AAHRC), the Family History Research Center at the Clayton Library Campus (FHRC), and the Houston History Research Center at the Julia Ideson Building (HHRC). Some collections are the result of collaborations with partner libraries, museums, and cultural heritage institutions.
HPL has enabled the "download" feature for collections on our Digital Archives. Customers can now download and save image files using the blue button on each page. These downloads are intended for personal or research use.
