Accessing History: Tarleton State University

Tarleton State University Library Special Collections and Archives offers a number of innovative ways to access institutional history and traditions.  You can view a number of images and brief descriptions through the "Tarleton State University Campus History Tour," on the Historypin site.
There is also a "Timeline of Tarleton History" created using Tiki-Toki web-based timeline software.  You can quickly scan historical images selected from the archives and click on any of interest for more information.
Links are also provided off an About Us drop down menu for a number of resources.  The History & Heritage Book is a 70-page document that includes a comprehensive array of institutional information from the history of campus buildings through origins of campus traditions and everything in between.
You can also search and view a wide variety of institutional photographs through the Cross Timbers Historic Images Project.  The project site offers a collection of 19th and 20th century historic images representing Tarleton State and the Cross Timbers area of Central Texas where it is located.
