Saturday, 2 September 2000, 8:00-9:30 a.m. in room Governor's 
Square 12 at 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.
