Supporting the People Who Teach Texas History

Education is central to TSHA's mission. We believe cost should not prevent a K–12 educator from becoming part of the Texas history community, so educators may choose either a complimentary membership or a paid membership with expanded benefits.

Access Comes First

Choose the Option That Works for You

If membership dues are not practical for you right now, choose the complimentary option. No explanation is needed. We want educators connected with TSHA and the resources, people, and opportunities surrounding Texas history.

If you're able to choose the paid membership, your support helps TSHA continue its work in education and helps make opportunities like complimentary membership possible for other educators.

Our goal is simple: Help more educators engage with Texas history—and help them bring that history to the next generation.
