Thomas L. Thomas papers, 1924-1995 bulk circa 1950-1980.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/228630247

This collection serves as an illuminating and substantial narrative on Thomas's life. This small collection features phonograph albums, correspondence, photographs, clippings, and audio- and videocassettes. The items span from 1924 to 1995 and consist of photographs, biographical materials, professional publicity, and correspondence. Other items include audio-visual materials, a plaque awarded by his native town of Maesteg, Wales, and a volume given to Thomas in honor of his performance in H.M.S. Pinafore at twelve years of age. Combined, these materials represent the professional and personal life of Thomas. Although the collection is detailed, items relating to his early life in Scranton and as a young performer in New York are not as prolific.
