Buildings of Texas (Beta v. 0.2)

Description:

The Buildings of Texas collection contains source materials for the Society of Architectural Historian’s two-volume publication “The Buildings of Texas.” Data was gathered by the research team and donated as spreadsheets to the Alexander Architectural Archives by Gerald Moorhead and includes information about people, places, and events across the state.
See the Buildings of Texas original dataset for the dataset as received: https://doi.org/10.18738/T8/M45YL8.

This donation launched UT Libraries’ efforts to geolocate built works in Texas and map our Architectural collections.

Buildings of Texas V1 is the most complete, accurate, and enhanced version of the data, while beta versions represent works in progress.
