The Texas State Historical Association (TSHA) seeks to shed light on the achievements of Texan women through a massive initiative to expand on the nation\u2019s oldest and most successful digital state encyclopedia, the <i>Handbook of Texas<\/i><i>.<\/i> <b>Texas women make Texas history<\/b>, and the time has come to illuminate the stories of these women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The <em>Handbook of Texas<\/em> project began in 1939 as an effort led by University of Texas Professor Walter Prescott Webb to preserve Texas history and create \u201cthe most useful book that has ever been published in Texas.\u201d The TSHA was organized in Austin on March 2, 1897, and the <em>Handbook<\/em> began as two printed volumes in 1952, with a supplemental third volume in 1976. Twenty years later, the six-volume Handbook included 23,640 entries and 687 illustrations within 6,945 pages. The <em>Handbook of Texas Online<\/em> launched in February 1999 and was among the first digital encyclopedias accessible for free on the Internet to the general public. The <em>Handbook<\/em> consists of more than 27,000 overview, general, and biographical entries focused on the entire history of Texas from the indigenous Native Americans and the Prehistoric Era to the state\u2019s diverse population and the Modern Age. These entries emphasize the role Texans played in state, national, and world history.<\/p>\n<p><em>Handbook<\/em> entries are written by volunteer historians and professionals, reviewed by TSHA staff, vetted by scholars, and approved by TSHA\u2019s Chief Historian before appearing online. The development of new entries is driven by current events, user suggestions, and internal identification of missing topics, which are reviewed by the TSHA Chief Historian for consideration. Authors utilize secondary and primary sources such as books, census records, newspapers, military service records, obituaries, diaries, and letters to craft historically accurate entries. The sources are compiled into a bibliography and updated regularly to provide readers with the most current scholarship. The <em>Handbook<\/em> editors fact-check, copyedit, and format entries using appropriate language for users ranging from middle school to college.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row text-center\" style=\"margin-top: 3rem;\">\n<div class=\"col-md-4\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-circle alignnone size-medium wp-image-229\" src=\"https:\/\/texaswomen.tshaonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/educator-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"183\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/texaswomen.tshaonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/educator-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/texaswomen.tshaonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/educator-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 183px) 100vw, 183px\" \/> <br \/>\n<h3>Educators<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You have a unique opportunity to pass\u00a0the many stories found in the rich history of Texas women onto our state\u2019s youth.
