TEXAS STORIES is a Texas History Audio Series, Web Site and Weekly e-Newsletter about the Lone Star State. Hosted by Timothy Patrick Miller, TEXAS STORIES will present 30- to 90-second audio programs about people, places and events in Texas History using music, sound effects and the art of storytelling.

OUR TOWN: Audio Postcards from the Past will feature 90-second stories about local and regional history for web site and e-Newsletter distribution. TEXAS STORIES Weekly Audio Series will be podcast, broadcast on commercial and non-commercial statewide radio as public service announcements, and available online and via the e-Newsletter.

The Web Site will feature story and interview audio clips, transcripts, historical images, Station and Affiliate City information, and links to online Texas History resources. Expanded City and County web pages are in development and will showcase the OUR TOWN programming.

A free, subscriber-based, email Newsletter -- TEXAS STORIES WEEKLY -- will present the Project's weekly audio feature, a weekly audio contest called What's My Story?, audio interviews, an audio calendar of events and fascinating facts about Texas History. A Story Board and Classroom Activities for Grades 4 and 7 are also in development.

TEXAS STORIES is produced by KJ Productions in partnership with the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum. The Friends of Libraries and Archives of Texas is the project’s 501(c)(3) nonprofit sponsor, and Texas Highways Magazine is the Project's Marketing Partner. The Texas State Historical Association will provide editorial review.

This new Web Site is currently in development and has been funded in part by grants from Humanities Texas and The Summerlee Foundation.
