We’re delighted to announce some recent additions to the line-up for ARCHIVES*RECORDS 2019:
Session 310: Invited Speaker – Dr. David B. Gracy II shares his thoughts on archival development in Texas as a microcosm for a wider examination of the country’s state archives and records management programs, archival education, and the archival enterprise generally. Dr. Gracy, a Distinguished Fellow of SAA, former SAA President, and former Texas State Archivist, has a unique perspective on archives and records management programs in the United States—and particularly in Texas—and he’ll share his thoughts on the future of archival programs. (This session facilitated by Texas State Archivist Jelain Chubb.) Add to your schedule.
