Just for fun, and in honor of Valentine's Day, February's Archival Experience will be all about LOVE and finding it in the SCCHS Archives' Special Collections. And since there are plenty of ways to celebrate the holiday, given that February 2024 is special, we'll be leaping to showcase why people love local history and archives with a display of love letters, valentines, and artifacts.

Genuine heroes have been in our state since the beginning and some are well-known
Every year, May is set aside to celebrate Preservation Month. Beginning as Preservation Week (1973), the celebration was extended to the entire month in 2005 in order to showcase the diverse and unique heritage of our country’s cities, states and historic sites.
On June 19, 1865, U.S. Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger issued General Order No.3 which informed the people of Texas that all enslaved people were now free. This day has come to be known as Juneteenth, a combination of June and 19th. It is the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.
