About

History

Louisiana Tech University was founded in 1894 as Louisiana Industrial Institute, by Act 68 of the General Assembly of Louisiana. The Honorable George M. Lomax, state representative from Lincoln Parish, introduced the legislation.

Education

From the beginning, the need for a library was recognized. Colonel Prescott set aside a room in "Old Main" to serve as a reading room. The room was furnished with tables, chairs, home-made shelves, and 125 books donated from his personal collection. It is from this beginning that the library has grown today.

Research

By 1896 the library had grown rapidly. It occupied most of the central quarters of "Old Main" and contained a thousand volumes of standard works and a collection of periodicals. In 1896 the library was designated a partial federal depository of government publications and became a full federal depository in 1948. In 1955, it became a depository for Louisiana state documents.
