Next up were two professors from Texas Tech University (USA).

During the meeting, Professor Pham Quang Minh introduced the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, a long-standing institution in Vietnam specializing in research and training in social sciences and humanities. The Faculty of Archival Studies and Office Management is also a leading institution in Vietnam for archival studies training. The university aims to become a research university, therefore learning from and cooperating with foreign universities is crucial. The Rector proposed several collaborative activities between the two universities, such as student and faculty exchanges and joint research projects.

In particular, the Principal proposed the idea of ​​co-organizing a workshop on topics related to the Vietnam War, such as American veterans and the anti-war movement in the United States; or a topic related to archival studies, such as the privatization of the archival sector, oral archival materials, and electronic archiving.

On behalf of Texas Tech University, Dr. Ron Milam expressed his gratitude and agreement with the suggestions of Professor Pham Quang Minh. He stated that the Vietnam War is a topic of great interest to the Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies and the Vietnam Archives Center. An exhibition or workshop on either of these two areas would contribute to strengthening mutual understanding between the Vietnamese and American people in general. He and Dr. Stephen F. Maxner will discuss in more detail with the University's Department of Archival Studies and Office Management about specific steps for future cooperation.
