TSACT

TSACT stands for The Society of Texas Archivists. It is a professional organization dedicated to the advancement of archival work within the state of Texas. The society was founded to foster cooperation, education, and advocacy among archivists and those involved with archival institutions and collections. Its membership includes individuals from a variety of institutions such as universities, museums, historical societies, government agencies, and private businesses.

The primary goals of TSACT include promoting professional standards and practices in archival management, preservation, and access. The organization provides opportunities for professional development through workshops, conferences, and training sessions. These events allow members to share knowledge, discuss current issues in the archival field, and learn about new technologies and methodologies. TSACT also serves as a networking platform, connecting archivists across Texas and facilitating collaboration on projects and initiatives.

In addition to professional development, TSACT engages in advocacy efforts to raise awareness about the importance of archives and the work of archivists. They work to support policies and legislation that benefit archival institutions and the preservation of historical records. The society often publishes newsletters or journals to disseminate information to its members and the wider community interested in archival matters. TSACT plays a significant role in the archival landscape of Texas by supporting its professionals and advocating for the preservation of the state's documentary heritage.
