Dr. Dethloff's major academic interest was agricultural history, especially rice growing and milling. His publication, A History of the American Rice Industry, 1685-1985, is the definitive monograph on this subject. He also has many other publications including a history of Texas A&M University. This collection contains mainly research material and writings on the rice industry.

This collection consists of research material compiled to publish her two books: “Images of America: Lafayette” (2007) and “Images of America: Evangeline Parish” (2014), the latter being co-written by Jane F. Vidrine.

This collection was donated by Jean S. Kiesel.

This collection consists of his working files as the University Archivist. There are correspondence files, files on all committees he worked on, state and national conference material he was officers for, writings, awards, etc.

This collection was donated by Sue S. Turner, wife of Dr. Turner.
