Approxiamtely 380 people attended these events and/or contributed media. Over 3,207 films and videos were digitized and returned to individuals across the state.

Participated in seminars for K-12 Mexican American Studies teachers at Austin's Mexican-American Cultural Arts Center in conjunction with The University of Texas at Austin's Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies. Undertook significant internal audit to evaluate, update and upgrade all lessons plans created since 2009.

Made available free of charge on the TAMI website (www.texasarchive.org) an online video archive of newly digitized films and videos about and/or made by Texans, including recently discovered and preserved home movies, televison news footage, advertisements and training videos. The number of films available on the website at the end of 2019 was approxcimately 5,000. This year, we invested a significant amount of time and resources into overhauling and updating our website and library. Because of this effort, our site analytics were down for several weeks; however, we estimate the website has been accessed close to 1.8 million times since its inception.
