The Walter Prescott Webb Historical Society works through college and university history departments to encourage students to discover, research, write, and publish the history of Texas as they find it where they live.
Founded in 1971 and named for the distinguished UT historian who served as Director of the Association from 1939-1946, the program provides the organizational framework for developing comparable learning projects and activities across campuses at the college and university level. Local, community, and regional history comprise the focal point of chapter activities.
We the University of Houston-Downtown chapter, strive to continue doing research within the communities of Historic Houston.
Our mission is to continue researching and writing about History in Texas, and helping to serve our community in more ways than just research.
