Summary: Let $(G,\alpha)$ and $(H,\beta)$ be locally compact groupoids with Haar systems. We define a topological correspondence from $(G,\alpha)$ to $(H,\beta)$ to be a $G$ - $H$ -bispace $X$ on which $H$ acts properly, and $X$ carries a continuous family of measures which is $H$ -invariant and each measure in the family is $(G,\alpha)$ -quasi invariant. We show that a topological correspondence produces a $C^*$ -correspondence from $C^*(G,\alpha)$ to $C^*(H,\beta)$ . We give many examples of topological correspondences.
