The Tobin and Anne Armstrong Texas Ranger Research Center houses Ranger biographical files, archival materials, historic books and other documents. These records date back to the founding of the Rangers in 1823 and include information about many Rangers, both famous and unknown. These biographical files are currently stored in regular filing cabinets.
We are beginning a fundraising campaign to purchase fireproof cabinets to safely store this important historical information. These cabinets (just a few pictured) will not only protect the records we already have but will have enough room to add information as we continue to research.
This project is estimated to cost around $40,000, and we need your support. We are currently accepting donations and hope that as you plan your giving this year, you will include the Armstrong Research Center in your gifting.
Please make checks payable to the Center with “fireproof campaign” in the memo line or mention that designation when paying by phone with a credit card at (254) 750-8631.
Thank you.
