The personal papers of dozens of individuals from north central Texas can be found in the holdings of the manuscripts collection of the University Archives. These individuals include: American diplomat and National Commander of the American Legion, Alvin M. Owsley; Texas legislator and federal judge, Sarah T. Hughes; Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, Fred H. Minor; and the founder and CEO of the Nocona Boot Company, Enid Justin. This division also houses the records of a number of current and former businesses in the metroplex, including Morrison Milling Company, the Fort Worth Stockyards Company, and the Duke & Ayers Company. Military history is represented in the papers of Major General Olinto Mark Barsanti and Colonel Frank M. Brandstetter, among others. These documents are only a small part of the collections available for researcher's use. The manuscript collections have been used in the publication of twenty books and numerous articles, theses, and dissertations.
