University of Texas - Brownsville

The University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College (UTB/TSC), working with the Colegio de la Frontera Norte (COLEF) in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico, will develop a plan to create a Border Studies Resource Center (BSRC) to serve institutions of higher education and others on both sides of the U.S.–Mexican border. It will also plan for the development of a digital repository of border studies-related research and resources. Workshops in San Diego, California; Phoenix, Arizona; and El Paso and Brownsville, Texas, will convene border scholars and librarians from the United States and Mexico to invite recommendations from potential partners and users of the Center and to identify content for the digital repository. The project’s goal is to create a consortium of colleges and universities in the two countries as partners in the BSRC.
