On March 15, 1994, during its celebration of the bicentennial of the chartering of the institution as Blount College, the UT Libraries added its two millionth volume. The item purchased as the two-millionth volume was Davy Crocket Almanac (1841). A lecture celebrating the two-millionth volume and the role of libraries was given at the UT Conference Center the same day by Dr. Richard Marius.
