Located on the upper level of the south addition to Murphy Hall (Room 240), the Thomas Gorton Music and Dance Library contains over 111,000 scores, books, sound recordings, videos, microforms, and serials, and holds the leading music collection in the Great Plains region. It opened in June 2000, integrating music and dance materials from the former Thomas Gorton Music Library, Anschutz Library, and Watson Library. The library is named for Thomas Gorton (1910-1977), who was Dean of the School of Fine Arts from 1950 to 1975 and KU Professor of Music History from 1975 to his retirement in 1977.
