He worked with rare books and special collections throughout his carreer at the Academic Center and Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin, the McFarlin Library at the University of Tulsa, the Special Collections of the University of Houston MD Anderson Memorial Library, and the DeGolyer Library at SMU where he established the Archives of Women of the Southwest and co-edited the Library of Texas series on Western history. He taught master's level courses at SMU and SMU-in-Taos.
He is the author of a biography of Stanley Marcus and numerous exhibition catalogues, a co-editor and contributor of the Cambridge edition of D.H. Lawrence's Women in Love, now considered the definitive text, and has contributed comment and editorial matter to many other works.
Since retiring from the DeGolyer Library, he has resided near Taos, and pursued with his wife Carol an interest in photography, producing an exhibition of large black-and-white photographs on the subject of water in the West.
