Formally known as the Arkansas Room, the collections area was renamed in June 2004
in honor of Dr. Droessler. Serving UAM for 27 years as Library Director and as Cataloging
Librarian, Dr. Droessler was also instrumental in establishing the Special Collections
Room. For more information, please contact Dan Boice Boice@uamont.edu 870-460-1480.
