STHC at SAA agenda = Science, Technology and Health Care Roundtable meeting, 2 September 2000, 8:00-9:30 a.m.



The Science, Technology and Health Care (STHC) Roundtable meeting
during the Society of American Archivists conference in Denver is
scheduled for Saturday, 2 September 2000, 8:00-9:30 a.m. in room
Governor's Square 12 of the Adam's Mark Hotel -- bring your breakfast!

The STHC roundtable provides a forum for archivists with similar
interests or holdings in the natural, physical and social sciences,
technology, and health care (including medicine), and provides an
opportunity to exchange information, solve problems and share
successes.  We especially welcome STHC archivists from Colorado, as
well as archivists who do not have a primary focus in these fields but
may have questions to ask or collection news to share.
