If we do not properly preserve them, irreplaceable parts of Texas\u2019s story could fade from memory or be lost forever. By donating $30 or more to the GLO\u2019s Save Texas History Program, you will not only receive a limited edition t-shirt but also help us keep Texas history alive in the hearts of future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The agency said donations directly support conservation work intended to keep the Archives accessible to future generations. Officials also suggested the shirt as a gift option for Texas history enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The GLO describes the Save Texas History Program as a statewide initiative to gather public support and private funding for the preservation and promotion of the maps and documents in its collection. The program\u2019s stated goals are the conservation of the records and the education of Texans about the heritage they contain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham is offering a limited edition \u201cI Saved Texas History\u201d T-shirt to donors who&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":298655,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[4556,27,29,3343,4557,28],"class_list":["post-298654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-dawn-buckingham","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-history","tag-texas-land-commissioner","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=298654"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298654\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/298655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=298654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=298654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
