This document is intended to provide guidance for Texas institutions that want to have their digital collections aggregated into the TxHub which will be harvested by the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA). DPLA is an aggregated collection, describing the digital and digitized materials from libraries, archives, and museums across the United States.

• Albert Duran, Houston Public Library

• Paloma Graciani Picardo, Harry Ransom Center

• Kara Long (chair), Baylor University

• Hannah Tarver, University of North Texas

• Katie Tomfohrde, Houston Public Library
