The San Antonio Municipal Archives Program was begun in
February 2007 under the Office of the City Clerk, and 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policies in place for the preservation of historical documents created by
City departments. Located in the
Municipal Records Facility, 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 Historic 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.
