Mission

Create and exchange information on both basic and advanced digital imaging and digitization best practices. Establish an open and inclusive environment for the exchange of information regionally, within the state of Texas and surrounding areas. 

Group Membership

  • Provide training and resources on digitization and digital imaging best practices

  • Support research on digitization and imaging methods.

Organizational structure

The wider imaging group is managed by the Planning Committee led by two co-chairs. The Planning Committee should consist of no less than three people.  Each co-chair serves a two year term in the position. The terms of the co-chairs should be staggered to ensure there is always an incumbent co-chair and a new co-chair. To encourage diversity, it is recommended that the two co-chairs come from different institutions.
