Ferrell, D. Thomas, Papers, 1920-1977 | Eastern Kentucky University - Special Collections and Archives

In February 1980 Mrs. Mary Dean Ferrell donated the Doctor Thomas Ferrell collection of records to Eastern Kentucky University. Since the bulk of the Ferrell collection had no organization, the Archives staff imposed its own pattern of arrangement. The inventory to the collection describes material at the folder title level. According to provisions of the Donor Gift Agreement the entire collection is open to research.

The personal and official papers of Doctor Thomas Ferrell comprise 36 document boxes of materials and two scrapbooks roughly covering the years 1920-1977. These materials are broken into four series: Genealogical, Memorabilia, Personal, and Professional. The papers reflect Ferrell's interest in professional education organizations as well as an active interest in civic and religious activities of the community.
