    The March
    (University of Oregon, 2019) Frank, David A.
    The March is a documentary by filmmaker James Blue (1930-1980) about the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in August of 1963. Blue filmed participants as they prepared for the March on Washington in their home cities, followed them as they traveled to Washington, and recorded their reactions as they listened for the first time to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s iconic speech “I Have A Dream” on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. This digital exhibition explores James Blue’s The March in its social and historical context. Although Blue was a critically acclaimed filmmaker, he did not achieve widespread fame in his lifetime, and The March was not shown in the United States until decades after he made it. In this exhibition you can learn about James Blue’s life and how he prepared to make the film. You can read about how The March and the March on Washington contributed to the broader Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. And you can learn about how people responded to the film, from journalists in Oregon to President Lyndon B. Johnson in Washington, DC.

    Red Thread: A Journey Through Color
    (Digital Scholarship Center, University of Oregon Libraries, 2019) Keller, Vera
    This site grew out of a course, The Global History of Color, taught by Vera Keller at the University of Oregon in 2018, tracing the global history of a range of natural reds, such as ochre, cinnabar, red lead, vermilion, dragon's blood, kermes, cochineal, madder, coral, red glass and enamels to the first synthetic dyes developed in the late nineteenth century. These pigments take us on a dramatic journey, criss-crossing the globe, from the furthest reaches of human history to contemporary Big Pharma. They offer a visual history of human exploitation of nature, as well as of attempts to surpass nature through art. You can follow this journey through the story map below, as well as through the digital exhibition of student research on objects drawn from University of Oregon collections, such as the Special Collections and University Archives, Knight Library and the Museum of Natural and Cultural History. Elsewhere on the site, you can find additional resources for learning and teaching more using the lens of the color red, from suggested further digital projects, secondary sources, rare original works in Special Collection, and the physical collection of pigments and teaching aide, the Traveling Scriptorium.

    The UO Puerto Rico Project: Hurricane Maria and its Aftermath
    (University of Oregon, 2018) Reyes-Santos, Alaí; Gimm, Vickie; Zafar, Bareerah
    The UO Puerto Rico Project: Hurricane Maria and its Aftermath started as a twelve-month long collaborative endeavor with students in the Ethnic Studies course “Race, Ethics, Justice” taught in Fall 2017 at University of Oregon. This project was inspired by students’ desire to intervene in the public debates about Puerto Ricans’ lack of access to basic resources in the aftermath of Hurricane María. Student teams fundraised to send a delegation to Puerto Rico to deliver donations and document stories in Caguas, Bayamón, Morovis, Utuado, Mayagüez, Santurce and Isla de Cabra. They produced educational resources and stories to share through this website with the general public, teachers, and professor. We humbly hope that these are conversation starters that will inspire others to create their own archives and document their own stories across generations.

    Archaeology and Landscape in the Altai Mountains of Mongolia
    (University of Oregon, 2009) Jacobson-Tepfer, Esther; Meacham, James
    The information presented on this website is the result of eighteen field seasons in the Altai Mountains of Russia and Mongolia. The extensive materials we have been able to gather and document represent the first broad inventory of surface archaeology in northwestern Mongolia. This website draws on three major resources: analysis of the region’s cultural monuments, accessed through the Archaeology section; an Image Gallery, consisting of digitized photographs of monuments and landscape; and a set of maps which include 1) a series of static image maps, and 2) a searchable Interactive Map. All maps are derived from the Project’s extensive Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database. The static maps consist of Basin Maps, located in the Altai Region Basin pages, and View Shed Maps, accessed in the Cultural Landscape section. The Interactive Map is designed to allow users to display map layers dynamically, pan and zoom the Altai region, and view specific monument types. Many of the map features have a direct link to the photographic archive, also accessed through the Image Gallery.
