Preservation

The Alamo Artifact Collection

The Alamo Collection contains manuscripts, objects, and artwork spanning over 300 years of Alamo history. Together, they tell the history of the site from before its founding as Mission San Antonio de Valero in 1718, through the Texas Revolution and the Battle of the Alamo in 1836, to the present day.

To bring this history to life and to preserve it for generations to come, the Alamo Trust is digitizing the Alamo Collection and will continually update this artifact portal so everyone can explore and learn from the Alamo Collection.
