Walter Eugene George Jr. was one of the leading architects of the historic preservation movement in Texas. He reactivated the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) in Texas during 1961 following a dormant period of more than two decades. While maintaining a professional practice, George also established a notable career as an educator. Papers, photographic materials, and drawings are representative of his work. Collection materials date from 1951 to 2007 and document historic restorations, new construction projects, teaching, research, and travel.
