New Collection Descriptions for the Month!

The following 12 finding aids for OSU Archives collections have been completed or updated in January 2009. They have been loaded to the NWDA finding aids database and have a PDF on the OSU archives’ website and a catalog record in the OSU Libraries’ catalog, Summit, and Worldcat. Five of these are for collections acquired in 2008; six are for collections for which there was previously no information available online.

We now have 368 finding aids in NWDA.

The largest component of the collection is a group of 900 color slides, many taken in 2001, that depict students and faculty participating in instruction and research activities.

Foote Photographs consist of 241 color slides taken by Foote during his early years at Oregon State College and depict the OSC campus, students, and athletic events; agriculture and forestry; Oregon landscapes and landmarks; and landscapes of western North America. Of special note are images of football games at Bell Field, construction of the heating tunnels on campus, Native Americans fishing in the Columbia Basin (perhaps Celilo Falls), and the effects of a flood (perhaps the Vanport Flood in 1948).
