    a home for history
    The Archives was created after the Texas Revolution,
    when Sam Houston directed the first land commission-
    er, John P. Borden, to collect all available land records
    defining the new Republic.
    These valuable documents, now housed in temperature-
    and access-controlled vaults, are used daily by genealo-
    gists, historians, archeologists, surveyors and anyone
    interested in Texas history.
