The Evans Library is the main campus library. The holdings of the Cushing Memorial Library include a variety of formats such as books, maps, photographs, epemera, audio and video tapes, artifacts, paintings and many other materials. Records for many of the items in the collections are listed in the General Libraries' automated catalog, LibCat, and finding aids for some collections are available at the Cushing Memorial Library website or in the Reading Room. The Center's archives, which include an oral history of the firm, are available to students and scholars of architectural and business history. HRRC researchers focus on hazard mitigation, disaster preparedness, response and recovery.
Researchers study the full range of natural disasters and technological hazards.
Natural disasters include floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes and drought, while technological hazards may involve chemical plant accidents, transportation accidents, hazardous materials and lifeline failures. The Center also maintains a small library with holdings of relevance to its research. The Sterling Evans Library is located in the center of the TAMU campus.
