Fall 2017 Events

Hi HAC Members,

If you, your collections, or a community archive you know about was impacted, please let us know. We are eager and available to help with recovery. If you interested in helping save archives from future disasters, please consider signing up for our “rapid response” contact list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10saxnJ-fBbU_mFNX_J-k4894P8Ws08zhD_kHeErxH5Q/edit?usp=sharing

This post is also a reminder of upcoming events in the community that support HAC, local history and cultural heritage, and archives across the region.

This Sunday, the Houston Archives Collective along with over 20 repositories from across the Houston and Gulf Coast region will be showcasing their collections and services at the first ever Houston Archives Bazaar.  Sponsored by the Archivists of the Houston Area (AHA), the event is free and open to all.
