The Daughters of the Republic of Texas Library at the Alamo.
The blog of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas Library (DRT Library) is maintained by staff member Caitlin Donnelly. The primary purpose of the blog is to highlight especially unique and interesting materials from the library’s rich collections. Other postings will announce or summarize special events hosted by the library; describe staff members’ professional activities; and spotlight new acquisitions and donations.
The DRT Library is part of the Alamo historical complex in San Antonio. It has been developed and is supported and maintained by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas with the goal of advancing the understanding of the unique history of the Alamo and Texas and of the lives of those who experienced it. The library’s staff selects, acquires, organizes, preserves, and provides access to primary and secondary source materials relating to the history of Texas, San Antonio, and the Alamo.
The library’s major collections include the general collection of books; the clipping file; fine art and print collections; manuscript collections; maps; newspapers; periodicals; the photograph collection; and sheet music. For more information about the scope and content of these materials, please see the “Overview of Collection” page at the DRT Library website.
