Liberty, TX- The Sam Houston Regional Library and Research Center will be closed for renovations from November 3, 2014 through January 1, 2015 as part of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission’s (TSLAC) multi-year plan to address critical safety and security needs at the 127-acre museum complex in Liberty, Texas.
A portion of funds from a $1 million appropriation by the 83rd Texas Legislature will be used to update facilities including the removal of hazardous asbestos, installation of a state-of-the-art fire suppression and detection system, and the replacement of flooring in the reading room. Additional funds provided by TSLAC will be used update furniture and fixtures and add computer work stations for visiting researchers.
The Center serves as the official regional historical resource depository for historical records and artifacts of the ten Southeast Texas counties of the historic Atascosito District (Chambers, Hardin, Jasper, Jefferson, Liberty, Newton, Orange, Polk, San Jacinto and Tyler Counties). In addition to the research library and museum, the complex includes the Jean and Price Daniel Home and Archives; and four relocated historic buildings.
