Our beginnings...
In 1986, the City of College Station City Council instituted the Historic Preservation Committee to "aid in the collection and preservation of the history of College Station and its environs and to provide for the education of citizens on our history." The nine member Council appointed committee meets on the first Monday of every month in Room #103 at the College Station Conference Center, 1300 George Bush Drive. Visitors are always welcome.
By 2003, Project HOLD, our historic online library database, was created. We scan your historical documents into our online database that is accessible to all at HOLD.cstx.gov. Your documents are then returned to you.
We encourage you to become involved in historic preservatioin any one of our programs so that together we may promote an appreciation of our heritage, our culture, our future and our past.
To make an appointment to bring your documents or photographs in to be scanned, to volunteer, or to find out more about Project HOLD, call 979.764.3491 or E-mail the Heritage Programs Coordinator, Anne Boykin at: aboykin@cstx.gov.
