Many thanks to our friends at the Texas State Library and Archives Commission for their feature on TARO and poster for this year’s Texas Archives Month. View the  announcement and downloadable poster here, along with selected highlights from finding aids that TARO hosts.

Welcome to June, as Texas is almost done preheating for the summer solstice. While the summer months tend to be quieter, we do have news to share from the National Finding Aid Network (NAFAN) Project, following our note to “stay tuned” for more back at the Society of Southwest Archivists conference in late April.

OCLC, a partner on the project, has published five reports assembling and discussing findings from the 2020-2023 IMLS-funded project. The reports can be found on the OCLC website: https://www.oclc.org/research/publications/2023/nafan/nafan-summary-research.html

Additional information is available on the California Digital Library’s NAFAN project website: https://confluence.ucop.edu/display/NAFAN/Building+a+National+Finding+Aid+Network

Thanks to all who were able to join us at our Brown Bag presentation at SAA last month!

April usage statistics are now available and can be viewed or downloaded from our Wiki page.

TARO will be hosting one more in-person training this spring, on May 25 UT-El Paso, also from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. More information can be found here:
