The Handbook of Texas: Past and Future J. Kent Calder Digital Frontiers Conference September 21, 2012
“First in point of actual need is a Handbook of Texas History…. Such a work as this would be cooperative; it would require the assistance of every scholar in practically every field of study in Texas…. It would be indispensable to every editor, reporter, library, scholar, and teacher in Texas. It would be necessary for every library in the world that made any claim to being a working library. It would set the standard for spelling and pronunciation, and furnish the starting point of every investigation of things pertaining to Texas history.” Walter Prescott Webb, “A Program for Texas History,” Southwestern Historical Quarterly 1(1939): 102.
