Texas Beyond History (TBH) is a public education service of the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory at the University of Texas at Austin . TBH   interprets and shares the results of archeological and historical research on the cultural heritage of Texas with the citizens of Texas and the world.  

 The Texas Archeological Research Laboratory (TARL) of the University of Texas at Austin is a nationally recognized archeological research facility and the largest archeological repository in the state.  

The Texas Historical Commission (THC) is the state agency for historic preservation. We save the real places that tell the real stories of Texas. 

TOMFRA is a statewide organization of historians and early architecture enthusiasts joined in our interest in preserving the mission and fort heritage of Texas. 

 We are a non-profit research entity that studies the full range of prehistoric and historic period societies that inhabited the Southern Plains and adjoining regions prior to Euroamerican settlement. With this broad range of interests, which spans early Holocene foragers to Anglo buffalo hunters of the late 1870's, we are interested in understanding the variability and continuity underlying adaptations to the region. 

 The Center for Archaeological Studies (CAS) is a research center within the Department of Anthropology at Texas State University. CAS’s primary goal is to provide training and research opportunities to Texas State University students who wish to pursue a career in applied anthropology.  

 The mission of the Center for the Study of the First Americans is to pursue research, train students, promote scientific dialogue, and stimulate public interest in the first people to enter and settle the Americas at the end of the last Ice Age. 

 CTA supports the archaeological community in Texas through the development of professional standards and guidelines, the maintenance of a contractor’s list, outreach to students and the public, and dissemination of news and  information important to archaeological work and research. 

 The Gault School of Archeological Research (GSAR) is a center for innovative, interdisciplinary research archaeology and education focusing on the earliest peoples in the western hemisphere and their cultural antecedents. 

 For more than 40 years, INA has been affiliated with Texas A&M University (TAMU).  Numerous INA officers are faculty in TAMU’s graduate Nautical Archaeology Program (NAP), which offers an M.S. in Maritime Archaeology and Conservation and a Ph.D. in Anthropology.  In collaboration with NAP faculty, NAP graduate students, and INA research associates, INA sponsors projects all over the world.
