It’s that special time of year when archivists get all sorts of wonderful gifts. This year we had an\u00a0especially\u00a0good haul from the Facilities Services department, which added many boxes of campus building plans!<\/p>\n\n
Want to know more about campus planning?<\/p>\n
In addition to the Facilities Services Records, 1888-2003<\/a>, there are also several great places to look for information.\u00a0The\u00a0Memorabilia Collection<\/a>\u00a0includes brochures and general information about Facilities Services, about individual structures, and materials pertaining to campus planning. More detailed information about the construction of some major buildings is available in the records of the corresponding office or department; for example, information about construction and remodeling of the Valley Library (and its predecessors, the Kerr Library and Kidder Hall) are available in the\u00a0Library Records (RG 009)<\/a>.<\/p>\n Capital Construction Funding Records, as well as other materials pertaining to buildings and facilities, are part of the Business Affairs Records<\/a> (RG 017). Additional correspondence from Gordon V. Skelton is available in the Civil Engineering Department Records<\/a> (RG 030).<\/p>\n We also have several great online exhibits for your viewing pleasure including\u00a0OSU Building Construction<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Holsteins, Horses, and Hogs: the Barns of Oregon State<\/a>.\u00a0Another resource is the Chronological History of OSU<\/a>, which is invaluable for those landmark dates, developments, and events.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s that special time of year when archivists get all sorts of wonderful gifts.
