Research

Notice: Due to Hall of State renovations, the G.B. Dealey Research Library is currently closed. We are currently packing and moving our archive to a temporary location and hope to reopen to researchers in February. Please contact Susan Richards, Researcher, at 214-239-8141 or susan@dallashistory.org in February to schedule a research appointment. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

The G. B. Dealey Library, located in the West Texas room of the Hall of State, holds more than ten thousand bound volumes and three million historic documents, including Sam Houston's handwritten account of the battle of San Jacinto.

The G. B. Dealey Library is open to researchers free of charge Wednesday through Friday from 1 to 5 P.M., by appointment only.

Fees are assessed for photocopies, photograph reproductions, and other uses of the Library's materials.

A new link has been added that will allow access to many of the historic photos within the Dallas Historical Society's collection.
