Increase accessibility to library treasures with
these grants from TexShare. TexTreasures is an annual
grant program designed to help member libraries make
their special collections more accessible to researchers
across Texas and beyond. Projects may include such activities
as cataloging, indexing, and digitizing materials. The
Texas Collections working group is the peer review panel
for the grant.
Funding is available for projects that involve organizing,
cataloging, indexing, and digitizing local materials.
The TexTreasures grant program helps Texas public and
academic libraries provide access to their special or
unique local collection holdings by making information
about these holdings available to library users across
the state.
