SCARC completed 7 new or updated finding aids in June 2020. Following is a list and a little information about what we accomplished.
These finalized finding aids are available through the Archives West finding aids database, our website, and the OSUL discovery system (a.k.a. “the catalog”). I have provided a link below to the guide in Archon. Links to the guides in Archives West and the catalog are available on the a-d slack channel.
- Six of these guides are for collections that were only minimally described and are now fully processed and described.
- One of the guides is for a new collection.
All of these materials will be available to researchers when SCARC resumes full reference services.
Finding aid for new collection:
Mt. Angel Abbey Hops Photographs, circa 1925 – circa 1960s (P 349)
The Mt. Angel Abbey Hops Photographs consist of pictures from the Abbey dating from circa 1925 and circa 1960s. They show the hop process from planting to harvest. The Mt. Angel Abbey was founded just outside of Mt. Angel, Oregon in 1882. This collection consists of digital images scanned from original negatives owned by the Mt. Angel Abbey and loaned to Oregon State University for digitization. All of the images are available in Oregon Digital.
Finding aids for collections that were only minimally described and are now fully processed and described:
Robert Crookham and Marjorie Enos Scrapbook, 1937-1943 (MSS CrookhamEnos)
The Robert Crookham and Marjorie Enos Scrapbook contains materials collected by alumni Robert Crookham and Marjorie Enos that document their student experience at Oregon State College. Both Crookham and Enos studied business and earned undergraduate degrees in 1941 and 1944, respectively.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers OSU Student Chapter Records consists of materials documenting the activities of this and affiliated student organizations. The OSU student chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers was originally established at Oregon Agricultural College in 1908 as the American Institute of Electrical Engineers; it was renamed the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 1963, in keeping with the name change at the national level.
Charles H. Martin Papers, 1939-1942 (MSS MartinC)
The Charles H. Martin Papers consist of three narrative research reports on garden symphylids compiled by Martin while he was a researcher at the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station. Martin joined the faculty of the Oregon State College Department of Entomology in 1946.
Hugh E. Morrison Papers, 1937-1974 (MSS Morrison)

John Owen Papers, 1971-1987 (MSS Owen)
The John Owen Papers are comprised of materials generated and collected by Electrical Engineering Professor and College of Engineering Dean John Owen. This collection documents Owen’s research activities and is made up of article reprints, research reports, and grant proposals. Owen worked for Oregon State University from 1977 to 1997.
Barbara B. Peck Papers, 1922-1987 (MSS PeckB)
The Barbara B. Peck Papers consist of essays and publications written and collected by alumna Barbara B. Peck that reflect her involvement with the American Home Economics Association. Peck graduated from Oregon State College with a degree in home economics in 1932.
