Texas Historical Records Advisory BoardGovernment

The Texas Historical Records Advisory Board is a state governmental advisory body supported by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. Its mandate is to promote the preservation of and public access to Texas's documentary heritage while facilitating federal archival grant funding across the state. Established in 1976 by Governor Dolph Briscoe to interface with the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, the board was later officially codified into state law in 1997.
