Texas Archives: Essential to Telling Our American Stories

Archives in Texas contain images and documents depicting the people who together built the country we are celebrating next year on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. As Texas libraries, museums, and archival institutions prepare for programming in conjunction with this milestone, the Texas Archives Month poster reflects only a sampling of the numerous faces and stories from history recorded in archives throughout the state. Make a visit to an archive a part of your Texas America250 festivities.
