Archives and Historiography in Rhetoric & Composition Bibliography

Prefatory Note

The following working bibliography draws from my dissertation research focused on a slice of Texas A&M University-Commerce's Literature and Languages departmental history. Much of what I have collected comes from my proposal and exam. I will continue to expand and update this bibliography over time as time allows. For now, this page is meant for undergraduate and graduate students interested in exploring more of the conversations and research located within writing studies research.

Please feel free to use this bibliography for any of your needs.
