OT: Texas Independence Day



Yes this post is off-topic, but so what!

Today marks the 166th anniversary of Texas Independence as declared at Washington-on-the-Brazos, Texas on March 2, 1836.

In honor of this most auspicious day I thought the members of these lists (archivist, recmgmt-l and achives-nra) would be interested in taking a little test.

The test can be found by clicking on the following link or copying-n-pasting it into your browser.

The Dallas Morning News also has an answer sheet available.

And what connection does the UK have to Texas? Well Great Britain recognized the Republic of Texas as an independent nation. One can find a bronze plaque in London that memorializes the location of the Texas embassy in that city.

Best wishes to all
