D IR, along with the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC), wants you to be aware that October is Texas Archives Month!

There are numerous free and low-cost learning opportunities available for agency staff interested in increasing their records management and information technology knowledge.

Archives Month in Texas aims to celebrate the value of Texas' historical records, publicize the many ways these records enrich our lives, recognize those who maintain our communities' historical records and to increase public awareness of the importance of preserving historical treasures and making them available for use by present and future generations.
