“The Rural World” exhibit offers a glimpse into the rural endeavors such as beekeeping, orchard cultivation, kitchen gardening, producing dairy products and wool, and brewing. These activities have provided sustenance since early times and formed the backbone of rural economies in Oregon. On display from October 13, 2014 – March 20, 2015. OSU Libraries Special Collections & Archives Research Center, 5th floor of the Valley Library, 10a.m. – 6 p.m. Monday – Friday.
Students are back and so is Oregon Archives Month — with a tasty selection of fare inspired by Fall! This month we have three events lined up here in the Library to highlight Oregon history and the collections of the OSU Special Collections and Archives.
