The Proud History and Spirit
The Haley Library and History Center works to preserve the history of Texas and the American Southwest. Housed in the Haley Library are thousands of books, original records, art and artifacts that hold forever the key to our heritage.
The Library was founded by J. Evetts Haley in 1961 to preserve the history, traditions and ideals of early Texas and the Southwest. It provides and promotes continuous research on this unique period in American history. Dedicated to the memory of his late wife, Nita Haley, the facility opened its doors in 1976

| The Library is a "no charge" facility. Research and use of the Library is always free. |
| J. Evetts Haley left his huge collection of books, records, interviews, photos and notes accumulated over fifty years to the Library. The Haley Collection has served as a magnet for the Library's continuous acquisition of historically valuable books, documents, photographs, art and entire private collections. Reflecting the drama of the Western frontier and the dynamic spirit of its founder, the Haley Library is a vibrant institution offering diverse programs for everyone...from cowboys, connoisseurs to kids...yet always upholding its primary purpose as a professional research facility. |
