Republic of Texas Presidential Library
In 2017, the 85th Legislature of the State of Texas approved a resolution for the creation of the Sam Houston Republic of Texas Presidential Library at Sam Houston State University. This resolution honors Sam Houston's contributions in shaping the state as well as his serving as the first and third President of the Republic of Texas.
The goal of the Sam Houston Republic of Texas Presidential Library is to compile, conserve and share - both online and in person, documents related to Sam Houston and his career to spur ongoing research into the life and times of one of the most important figures in Texas and American history.
