2025 Governor's Award for Historic Preservation Recipient
Awarded by the Office of the Governor and Texas Historical Commission for highest achievement in preserving Texas heritage.
Founded in 2003 by Dr. Caroline Frick, the Texas Archive of the Moving Image (TAMI) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to discovering, preserving, and sharing the cinematic heritage of the Lone Star State.
We aren't just saving celluloid and magnetic tape; we are safeguarding the collective memory of all Texans. Our online library features thousands of moving images, including home movies, amateur films, advertisements, local television, and industrial films created in Texas.
