Biographical Note
Publications is an artificial collection of published materials advertising and marketing the services of the General Land Office.
The collection is arranged into nine series based on the type of publication. Publications created by the Archives and Records and Coastal Resources program areas (departments) are the most numerous. The two program areas have the broadest interaction with the public and produce many more publicity pieces than the other program areas.
Administration publications document the inner workings of the GLO for both the public and the legislature. Executive materials highlight the leadership of the GLO. Veterans Land Board (VLB) publications provide information for veterans seeking to acquire land from the State.
The Alamo publications relate to exhibits and fundraising.
Resource Management publications cover every aspect of land management (excluding the coast) from environmental stewardship to mineral exploration.
Disaster Recovery includes project manuals to this relatively new program area.
