Building Capacity for Preservation
Preserving lost stories of the past and the places where they happened, ensures Texas’s legacy for all generations. Our educational programming builds capacity and expertise that informs, inspires, and trains everyone from students (primary to post-secondary) to professionals in the field of preservation.

K-12 Programs
Texas history is a core part of the curriculum in Texas public schools. We support the THC in augmenting classroom instruction with hands-on learning for students through field trips to historic sites, where they learn from preservation professionals who make this history come alive for them, or through distance learning opportunities developed by the THC based on state curriculum standards and guidelines.

Preservation Scholars Program
Our post-secondary programs, like the Preservation Scholars Program, seek to generate interest in historic preservation among college students from underrepresented ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Through paid internships at the THC, we encourage these students to consider pursuing careers in history, architecture, archeology, downtown revitalization, and heritage tourism, lending their unique voices to the telling of Texas history.
