The Robert E. Nail, Jr. Archives at the Old Jail Art Center was established to provide a historical memory and a genealogical resource of the people of Albany and the Shackelford, Stephens, Throckmorton, and Young County areas. The Archives also seeks to supplement the museum's fine arts collection with the personal/professional papers of artists whose work are in the permanent collection.
The Archives are open to the public:
Tuesday - Friday 11:00-5:00 pm.
To better assist researchers, appointments are encouraged. Please call 325.762.2269
