The research resources are based in the department of special history and the university history department the map library and the university archive.
The department of special collections is located in Mason, specializes in English and European history and the history of science historical.

Library, "The Queen's General" is on display now. It concerns the life of John Churchill, the Duke of York who lived from 1650 to 1723.
The regional history department is concerned with the history of Kansas and its neighboring states. He has manuscript library, according to Louis Griffin, head librarian. The department collects materials related to political and cultural history of Kansas and the surrounding states.
