The Dolph Briscoe Center for American History is a leading history research center and part of the University of Texas. Its collections are vast, with significant holdings on Texas history (indeed, the collection began as the Eugene Barker Texas History Center, and many still call it the Barker Center), political history, southern history, American energy history, civil rights and social justice, news media, mathematics, and military history. In addition to its primary research center on the UT Campus, the Briscoe Center also includes locations across the state: the Sam Rayburn Museum in Bonham, the Briscoe-Garner Museum in Uvalde, and Winedale, a complex of historical structures in Round Top.
