Thomas J. Ebert, retired Fresno State librarian and administrator, recently donated the 3,000th volume toward the Thomas J. Ebert American Frontier Collection at the Henry Madden Library.

Ebert has been donating books to this collection since 1993. The volume selected as his 3,000th gift is “Provisions of the Fur Trade” (v. 6 of the Encyclopedia of the Fur Trade) published by the Museum of the Fur Trade, Chadron, Nebraska.

Ebert’s donations over the years have helped position the Madden Library’s Western Americana collection as the most prominent in the California State University system.
