Preserving the Kempner Heritage

Dive into the archives at the Portal to Texas History to explore decades of photographs, documents, and letters that chronicle the Kempner family’s involvement in business and industry.  Through a collaborative endeavor between esteemed partners, the University of North Texas and the Rosenberg Library, a portion of the Kempner Family Papers have been meticulously digitized, ensuring that this invaluable collection is preserved for future generations to explore and appreciate. 

This digital collection contains a selection of materials drawn from the larger tangible collection held at Rosenberg Library in Galveston.
