An article about a collection of about 10,000 books and documents put together by local accountant Dan Kilgore that chronicles the early history of South Texas donated to CCSU. Kilgore began the collection 35 years ago when he purchased two local history books at a Corpus Christi warehouse that was selling unclaimed items. The appraised value of the items was $385,000 and a dedication ceremony was held as they were housed in the Special Collections and Archives area at the campus library.
