Publications Collection

Collection Note

The Publications Collection was created as a way to consolidate individual publications donated by different individuals. These publications were donated at various times in the history of the Archives, and as additional individual publications are donated, they will be added to this collection.

This list is not a complete representation of publications within the Archives. Publications that were donated as part of a larger collection should be listed on that collection’s page. Utilize the Search Archives page to search for specific titles in other collections. (Very large collections do not have individual items listed on the website. If you are searching for a specific publication and do not find it, please email us at archives@tarrantcountytx.gov, and we will check our database.)
