The Center's collections have resulted in a number of award-winning publications.
The Center publishes books on its own, such as Dolph Briscoe: My Life in Texas Ranching and Politics, as told to Don Carleton, and Extraordinary Circumstances: The Presidency of Gerald R. Ford by Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer David Hume Kennerly.
The Center partners with the University of Texas Press for the Focus on American History Series, which includes titles such as the award-winning From Bloodshed to Hope in Burundi: Our Embassy Years during Genocide by Robert and Kathleen Krueger, Russell Lee Photographs: Images from the Russell Lee Photograph Collection, and Danger Pay: Memoir of a Photojournalist in the Middle East by Carol Spencer Mitchell.
The Center has also worked with other presses to publish books that are based on the Center’s collections. The Barker Texas History Series at the Texas State Historical Association features titles such as William Pitt Ballinger: Texas Lawyer, Southern Statesman, 1825–1888 by John Anthony Moretta and Behold the People: R. C. Hickman's Photographs of Black Dallas, 1949–1992. The Center worked in cooperation with TCU Press on the new book Calvin Littlejohn: Portraits of a Community in Black and White.
