Texas Records on the March

Texas Records on the March

 

The 17,000-image database contains official service-record files from the Adjutant General’s Office, as well as service-related files from other government agencies. The records, dating from the 1830s to the 1930s, represent 15 military organizations.

Eight of these record series – Army of the Republic, Navy of the Republic, Confederate States Army, Texas State Troops, Mounted Volunteers, Minute Men, State Police and Regular Rangers – are entirely digitized. Texas archives digital-imaging specialist Liz Clare won’t hazard a guess as to when all the series will be online, but says, “We are adding new images to the database on a weekly basis.”
