Wooten Hall room 267
telephone number: (940) 369-7681
The Kingsbury-Thomason Departmental Library was created by UNT History
alumni Troy M. Thomason ('48) in honor of his mentor and favorite
professor, Dr. Joseph L. Kingsbury. Professor Kingsbury taught history at
UNT from 1925 to 1949. Troy M. Thomason was a World War II veteran and an
avid student of history, with a particular interest in military history.
Mr. Thomason donated his personal library and collection of videotapes as
well as a sum of $30,000 to create the Kingsbury-Thomason Library in honor
of Professor Kingsbury.
The Kingsbury-Thomason Departmental Library holdings include contains
extensive reference materials including numerous world and United States
atlases, U.S. and world encyclopedias, and handbooks ranging from Latin
America to Texas and the Civil War. There are also over 3,500 monographs
grouped into sections including world, U.S., Texas, and Military history.
The emphasis of the collection is U.S. and military history. The
collection also includes approximately four hundred videos on a multitude
of topics and copies of dissertations and theses of former graduate
students. These materials do not circulate: they are available for all
students to use in the Library during regular working hours. The History
library is also a valuable area in which students can interact with
graduate students and professors, in order to receive assistance in their
studies and guidance.
The library is also used to hold departmental functions, classes, lectures
from visiting professors, and meetings of organizations such as Phi Alpha
Theta.
