Over the past 20 years, Texas Digital Library has come a long way and has much to celebrate. We have cultivated a vibrant community of creative and collaborative information workers who are committed to supporting accessible and inclusive scholarly, cultural heritage, and educational materials that represent our diverse populations. This year, we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of TDL and how our collective action has blossomed into cumulative impact across the state of Texas.

Join us at the 2025 Texas Conference on Digital Libraries to reflect on how far we’ve come as a community, review current roadmaps, and discuss our plans for the future. We invite you to consider how collaboration and engagement – both within and beyond the TDL community – can highlight our shared success. Let’s celebrate our achievements, interrogate shortcomings and surprises, and highlight what we’ve learned on the way.

Take the next steps to make sure your TCDL experience is a success. To receive TCDL updates, check out our Get Involved page. You may also email info@tdl.org if you have any questions.

ABOUT THE TEXAS CONFERENCE ON DIGITAL LIBRARIES

Since 2007, the Texas Digital Library has hosted the annual Texas Conference on Digital Libraries (TCDL). TCDL covers topics relevant to the creation, promotion, dissemination, and preservation of research, scholarship, and cultural heritage digital materials. The goal of TCDL is to bring together those working on digital projects — including outreach librarians, repository managers, catalogers, faculty members, technical staff, and others — in order to build a practical, usable, and sustainable model for digital libraries.

TCDL encourages and welcomes participation from students, scholars, librarians, researchers, faculty, and users from all backgrounds, identities, and experiences. All are welcome!
