Austin’s Archives and You: Preserving City & Community Histories

The Austin History Center needs your input! We invite you to join us at the Windsor Park Branch Library on Thursday June 26th to learn about our work and the Austin’s Archives & You survey. There will be activities so that you can help us decide the direction of our programs, exhibits, and spaces. Complete our survey and receive a free coffee mug or a historic map!

We will offer light refreshments. 

This year we are celebrating the Austin History Center’s re-opening in the John Henry Faulk Building located at 800 Guadalupe St. as well as the 25 year anniversary of our Community Archives Program. In honor of these milestones, we are rolling out the Austin Archives & You: Preserving City & Community Histories community engagement campaign. This summer we are conducting public meetings, workshops, attending tabling events, and collecting surveys to help shape the future of our programs, exhibits, and spaces. Our work is rooted in community and we’d love to hear your opinions and do what we can to meet your needs!

At the end of this community engagement campaign, we will share out the results of our efforts in a celebratory event held at our new space in the John Henry Faulk Building. Although it will take time, our goal is to implement changes to our programs, exhibits, and spaces based on feedback received at our workshops and from survey results beginning in Fiscal Year 2026.
