    Reference Books

    Tarrant County Archives holds several hundred published books pertaining to Tarrant County history as well as Texas and U.S. history. Depending on their rarity and relevance, some are housed in archival boxes and some on book shelves near the front of the Archives. Reference books held in the Tarrant County Archives may be rare and therefore are to be treated as carefully as archival manuscripts. They may be viewed only in the Archives; no material from the Archives may be checked out. Some of these materials may be available for check out from local or regional libraries.
