Austin Civil War Roundtable

The Austin Civil War Round Table will hold a special in-person meeting on Thursday, October 15, at 6:00 PM at the Lorenzo de Zavala State Archives and Library Building in downtown Austin. Hosted by Texas State Archivist Jelain Chubb and the staff of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, members and guests will receive a special guided tour that includes both public areas and a behind-the-scenes look at the State Archives and its collections. The evening will feature a visit to the conservation lab and a specially curated display of Civil War-era treasures selected for the Round Table, including historic Roesler maps, documents from the Texas Secession Convention, military muster records, period photographs, and flags. This is a unique opportunity to see important pieces of Texas Civil War history rarely viewed together and to learn firsthand how these irreplaceable materials are preserved for future generations. Members, guests, and anyone interested in Civil War and Texas history are welcome to attend.
