The 2020 Brown Bag will be rescheduled because the SSA annual conference planned for Denton was cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic concerns. The TARO Steering Committee is exploring options to host the Brown Bag as planned via a virtual platform. Information for the virtual Brown Bag will be shared via the taro-list.

Save the date: TARO Brown Bag at SSA – May 21

Join members of the Texas Archival Resources Online (TARO) Steering Committee and Subcommittees to learn about the work the group has done this past year. The agenda includes an overview of ongoing work under our NEH implementation grant to update the TARO website, subcommittee work report(s), communication among TARO members, and an opportunity to share feedback. This brown bag meeting is open to all TARO members and anyone interested in becoming a member.

The brown bag is part of the activities at the Society of Southwest Archivists (SSA) annual meeting in Denton, TX.
