THURSDAY, APRIL 12 NET FAIR I - 3:00 - 3:50 - Putting Texas Heritage Online (p. 59) Where can you find a biography of Sam Houston? How about a portrait? A copy of his title to land in Nacogdoches? A picture of his favorite jaguar-skin vest?

THDI is a cooperative project to improve access to historical and cultural collections in libraries, archives, and museums across Texas. We will discuss opportunities for training and collaboration, requirements for participation, and the potential value of a unified search interface.
