Biographical history
Sexton Design & Technology Library has been a unit of the University Libraries since the amalgamation of the 1997 Technical University of Nova Scotia (TUNS) and Dalhousie University. The Nova Scotia Technical College (NSTC)—predecessor of TUNS—was established in 1907, and in 1949 the college appointed its first librarian. Beginning with 6000 books and a subscription list of 125 periodicals, the library expanded its collection until it outgrew its space and moved in 1961 to the third floor of Building B on what is now known as Sexton Campus. The library's name change occurred in 2001 when the former DalTech campus was renamed after Sir Frederick Sexton, first principal of the NSTC.
