The Office of the City Clerk Archives Program is located at the Municipal Records Facility. The Archival Program began in February 2007 in partnership with the San Antonio Public Library’s Texana/Genealogy department and the San Antonio Public Library Foundation. Prior to this date, there was no formal program or policies in place for the City's historical documents. The program aims to appropriately house, organize, and make available for research the history of the City of San Antonio. The archives program is funded by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission. The goal of the NHPRC is to promote the preservation and use of America's documentary heritage essential to understanding our democracy, history, and culture. To that end, the Commission supports projects around the country through grant funding.
The Office of the City Clerk Archives Program is committed to making its collection available online as much as possible. In this section, you will find links to the digital collections search and the collection inventories in text format search.
