This is an update shared by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC).

The TexShare databases are resources selected by TSLAC and partially subsidized through funding from TSLAC and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Due to changes in funding availability, some resources will not be renewed by TSLAC for their upcoming fiscal year. Below is a list of the resources that will stay through May of 2026, and the resources that are leaving in 2025. All currently available resources can be found on our Research and Resources page. 

Resources new and renewed through May 31, 2026

The following resources will be renewed for a full contract term beginning June 1, 2025, and ending May 31, 2026. These resources will be eligible for an additional one-year renewal, pending approval by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission based on vendor performance, resource usage, and available funds.
