State Library plan aims to reorganize Texas records
A preliminary survey by the Texas State Library's records administration division outlines a full program to save space and preserve state records. It proposes releasing 45 000 square feet of office space and 10 000 square feet for storage, plus reusing $252 000 of file cabinets and other equipment. It would destroy duplicate and obsolete records, consolidate series across departments, and reduce fire hazards while safeguarding priceless archives. The plan faces legislative debate and requires careful implementation by the 52nd Legislature.
