I know that this has been covered before but a quick search coundnt point me in the right direction.

What is needed to add USB to a Power PC Mini tower? This is for my fathers computer, it is a 300MHz. G3 with 8G HD.

Any advice would be helpful.

There are several companies that make PCI cards to go in such machines. Orange Micro is one. There are others. Bear in mind that for it to work with the least amount of trouble, you should probably be running at least OS 8.6. I would recommend OS9.
