Tobin & Anne Armstrong Research Center

Tobin & Anne Armstrong Research Center is the official library and archives of the Texas Rangers. The collection is accessed by families searching their genealogy, authors and film makers researching the Texas Rangers or Texas history, or anyone wanting to learn a little bit more about the Lone Star State.

The Research Center dedicates itself to collecting, preserving, archiving, cataloging, and making available a collection regarding the Texas Rangers, Southern Plains Indians, and firearms.  The special collection includes photographs, letters, films, books, movie posters, and much more.

Amanda Crowley, the librarian, is busying herself with reference work and cataloging the materials.  Materials are cataloged using the Library of Congress.  To gain access to the collection, you must make an appointment and the items that are needed will be pulled for you.

The Research Center is being housed in the Texas Rangers Hall of Fame and Museum until construction of their new building is complete.  Due to lack of space, at the moment, they are unable to receive walk-ins.  To schedule an appointment, you can email or call Amanda Crowley.  To contact Amanda to schedule an appointment, please see the sidebar.
