Tulsa and Oklahoma Print Resources
In addition to our Vertical Files and Online Resources, the Central Library has an extensive collection of
Tulsa and Oklahoma Print resources. These are primarily found in the Tulsa & Oklahoma Collection on the
4th floor in the Research Center.
This collection includes books and materials on the history of the state, biographies of noted Oklahomans, books about Indian tribes in Oklahoma, travel destinations, and other topics as they relate to Oklahoma, including art, archaeology, literature, music, education, business, cookbooks, maps, and local Tulsa history. In addition, we have a limited collection of yearbooks from local high schools and state universities, and The Chronicles of Oklahoma.
Some odds and ends you might find within the collection are county histories from all over Oklahoma such as History of Cotton County. These are valuable because they provide a localized perspective you might not find elsewhere.
