The Texas State Library and Archives Commission works with
several advisory boards and committees to help meet its mission.
Texas Historical Records
Advisory Board (THRAB)
The mission of the Texas Historical Records Advisory Board
is to promote awareness of historically valuable records
through education and training; to foster and support the
identification, preservation and effective public access
to these records; and to advocate and encourage collaborative
funding and resource sharing. THRAB works with our Archives
and Information Services division.
Records Management Interagency
Coordinating Council (RMICC)
RMICC works with our State and Local Records Management
division. The council reviews the activities of member agencies,
studies other records management issues and makes biennial
reports to the Governor and Legislature. RMICC also adopts
policies that coordinate the members' records management
activities and makes other improvements to the Texas records
management program.
Local Government Records
Committee (LGRC)
LGRC is an advisory committee to the Texas State Library
and Archives Commission, State and Local Records Management
Division. By law, the LGRC must approve administrative rules
affecting local government records before the state library
can adopt them.
Library Systems
Act Advisory Board
The Library Systems Act Advisory Board advises the Commission
on any matter related to the Texas Library Systems program,
including design of the system program itself, system plans
of service, system governance and structure, and the accreditation
of local libraries for membership in the library system.

year terms.
