About us
Meetings and Events
TIG members meet six or seven times a year. All members receive the minutes of those meetings, which include a summary of the news and information exchanged. Guest speakers are a regular feature of TIG's meetings. TIG also runs an online discussion forum for the sector.
Members enjoy priority bookings to TIG study days and conferences. The group has held successful conferences on theatre resources and libraries, the needs of the user, publishing for the performing arts, video archives, and theatre and the internet. Seminars have covered topics such as performing arts databases, copyright, charging for information, legislation affecting archive collections, and managing multimedia collections.
