Not every map that appears in the General Land Office’s online database is physically housed at the Archives in Austin. The Holcomb Digital Map Collection is a diverse group of items consisting of 134 maps, atlases, books, and pamphlets belonging to Frank and Carol Holcomb of Houston. Mr. Holcomb, a practicing tax and estate planning attorney, began acquiring maps with his wife in 1978, and together they have collected works covering the entire Western Hemisphere, but focusing primarily on Texas. The Holcomb Digital Map Collection is the result of months of collaboration between the Holcombs and GLO Archives staff in 2014 to preserve and make available to the public these important documents.
