Blinn Sponsors Central Texas Historical Association

Blinn College is the first community college in the state to sponsor a regional historical association.

The Central Texas Historical Association region ranges from Houston to San Antonio, to Junction, to Wichita Falls, to Gainesville and back to Houston.

Dr. Kenneth Howell, professor and director of the CTHA, said their mission is to preserve the history and culture of the region and encourage research.

He said the association’s second function is to promote museums and archives in the region.

The CTHA will host an annual symposium and an annual conference. Howell said it is a place for both professional and lay-historians.

For more information or to join, contact Howell at 979-209-8583, or khowell@blinn.edu.
