For nearly 70 years, the Society has encouraged the publication of works that document Texas history and culture in a way that both educates and inspires. This year, books exploring art, architecture and craftsmanship will share the stage with stories of small-town aspirations and innovations that have transformed our city, state and way of life. From prehistoric murals to midcentury mosaics, vanishing crafts, architectural gems, and the human struggle to shape the environment, the San Antonio Conservation Society’s 2019 Publication Awards have something of interest for everyone.

The winning authors for 2019 will be honored at a luncheon, book signing and award presentation ceremony. The public is invited to the event, which begins with a short reception where attendees can meet the authors, buy books and have them signed. Book signings will continue after the award ceremony.
