EspañolHANDBOOK OF TEXAS
The '''Handbook of Texas''' (ISBN 0-87611-151-7) is a comprehensive encyclopedia of Texas geography, history, and historical persons published jointly by the Texas State Historical Association (TSHA) and the General Libraries at The University of Texas at Austin. The original ''Handbook'' was the brainchild of TSHA President Walter Prescott Webb of The University of Texas history department. It was published as a two-volume set in 1952, with a supplemental volume published in 1976.
In 1996, the '''New Handbook of Texas''' was published, expanding the encyclopedia to six volumes and over 23,000 articles. In 1999, the '''Handbook of Texas Online''' went live with the complete text of the print edition, all corrections incorporated into the handbook's second printing, and about 400 articles not included in the print edition due to space limitations.
The ''Handbook'' includes entries on general topics, like this: Texas since World War II;
biographies such as this: Samuel Houston; and geographical entries like this: Waco, Texas.
