In late December of 2003, an agreement was signed which made the Rare Book & Texana Collections of the UNT Libraries the official repository of the archives of the Texas Society, Sons of the American Revolution. With this agreement, two very important things happened: The archives of the Society found a permanent home where they will be preserved, organized, and made available to researchers, scholars, and visitors; and the Rare Book & Texana Collections fulfilled an important part of its mission—to preserve and make available important historic and cultural materials for current and future generations. The TXSSAR Archives includes more than 105 linear feet of materials, both processed and unprocessed. As the collection is processed and cataloged, more complete lists will be made of the contents and of the "gaps" that are discovered. Our primary goal is to organize the TXSSAR Archives in order to document the history of the Society in Texas; its activities, projects, and accomplishments. We hope that members and chapters will be able to fill the gaps by providing missing newsletters, sending in scrapbooks, and by providing any type of materials or artifacts to help make the TXSSAR Archives a truly complete record of the Texas Society, Sons of the American Revolution. Additionally, other materials relating to the American Revolution are being added to the collection.
