IN MANY RESPECTS, all research libraries are alike. They all have substantial collections—both 
print and digital—covering every discipline and all the spaces in between. They are the stewards of the 
scholarly record, a critical role that no other institution or information provider plays. They provide the 
services needed to bridge the divide between those resources and library users. Increasingly, research 
librarians help to interpret the authenticity of content. Information is no longer a scarcity. Because there 
is so much information available from so many sources, our instructional programs have shifted from 
focusing on finding information to evaluating information for reliability, accuracy, and point of view. 
Research libraries also provide specialized facilities that support teaching, research, collaboration, and 
quiet contemplation.
But research libraries are unique in one important respect. Each one hosts collections of primary source 
material that exist nowhere else. These collections are the raw material for future scholarship. They run the 
gamut of materials: a famous writer’s hand-written manuscript, a glass-plate negative depicting a historical 
moment, diaries from intrepid explorers, or the first sketches by a well-known children’s book illustrator.
In the UO Libraries’ case, we have many such treasures that distinguish us from other research libraries. 
At the core of those treasures is the Ken Kesey Collection. Ken Kesey, of course, is an iconic figure in 
American literature, and in particular the literature of the early 1960s. His archive represents more than 
a great achievement in literary history, however. It defines a fundamental shift in American culture. 
Writers of his generation brought forward concepts that challenged many American assumptions and 
values. Kesey and others introduced new expressions of liberation, they revived our environmental 
consciousness, and they practiced a fearless embrace of human differences. In this regard, the Kesey 
archive is a rich resource for people researching mid-20th-century history, social movements, and 
political tensions, as well as new forms of literary and artistic expression. 
The Ken Kesey Collection is currently on deposit in the UO Libraries’ Special Collections and University 
Archives. This issue of Building Knowledge highlights the many extraordinary features of this important 
collection. The archive has already been a magnet for scholars, students, authors, filmmakers, and 
members of the broader community who appreciate its significance. It is part of the heart and soul of 
what it means to be an Oregonian, and its presence distinguishes the UO Libraries from all other 
research libraries in the United States and elsewhere.  I hope you enjoy reading this issue and, as 
always, thank you for your generous support.

A MARK
OF DISTINCTION
The UO Libraries and the Ken Kesey Collection
Deborah Carver, Philip H. Knight Dean of 
Libraries, has been elected to the board of 
directors of the Association of Research 
Libraries (ARL), a nonprofit organization 
of 125 research libraries in North 
America. ARL’s mission is to influence  
the changing environment of scholarly 
communication and the public policies 
that affect research libraries and the 
diverse communities they serve.
Carver, who will serve a three-year term, 
says that representation on the ARL board 
is an asset in a time of transformation. 
“We have been very active in adopting 
new technologies and implementing 
creative strategies to keep pace with the 
world of change that defines the 
successful 21st-century research library,” 
she says. “The rate of change will continue 
to accelerate. A presence on the ARL 
board will give the UO Libraries a distinct 
advantage in anticipating and responding 
to the new realities facing research 
libraries across the globe.”

HE CONTINUED  to deposit his papers there until his 
death in 2001. Since then, Faye Kesey, Ken’s wife of 45 
years, has continued adding to the collection.
Given Ken’s status as a defining force in recent American 
literature and culture, the Ken Kesey Collection is 
certainly one of the most important archival collections in 
post-World War II American arts and letters. It has long 
been the wish of Ken and Faye that his papers remain at 
the UO Libraries as a permanent collection.
The UO Libraries now has the opportunity to purchase 
the collection and make it available to current and future 
generations of UO students, literary scholars, and others 
interested in Kesey’s influence on life and literature in the 
latter half of the 20th century.
Original manuscript pages from Kesey’s Jail Journal
The Ken Kesey Collection
In 1966, soon after UO graduate Ken Kesey ’57 
had established himself as a major American 
writer with the success of One Flew Over the 
Cuckoo’s Nest and Sometimes a Great Notion, 
he began depositing his personal and literary 
papers for safekeeping in the UO Libraries’ 
Special Collections and University Archives in 
Knight Library.
Robert Faggen, the respected American literary 
scholar, has used the material in the Kesey Collection 
extensively while working on a forthcoming 
biography, Ken Kesey: An American Life. Faggen 
describes the richness, variety, and value of  
the collection:
“The collection contains a record of Kesey’s 
development as a writer from his student days at the 
University of Oregon through his later career in the 
1970s. There are many early pieces that reveal the 
mythic origins of both One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s 
Nest and Sometimes a Great Notion. The collection 
also contains a rich record of Kesey’s correspondence; 
it allows us to trace his development as a writer and 
as a person particularly from the late 1950s through 
the mid-1960s, when he experiences a true 
transformation and coming of age. Perhaps most 
important, however, are the manuscripts, notes, and 
drafts of Kesey’s novels, including the unpublished 
novel Zoo (which tells us a great deal, much of it 
surprising, about Kesey’s early preoccupations), One 
Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and Sometimes a Great 
Notion, one of the masterpieces of 20th-century 
fiction. Notion is elaborately constructed, and the 
Kesey Collection provides a remarkable window into 
the creative process in the making of the novel. The 
collection holds hundreds of hours of reel-to-reel tape 
that Kesey made of reflections on writing and his 
times as well as conversations with others; these form 
an invaluable record of one of the key voices of the 
1960s. It also has many of Kesey’s Blakean journals, 
including his jail journals and other artwork, so much 
of which influenced the time.”
One of the hallmarks of receiving an education at the 
University of Oregon is the opportunity students have 
to conduct original research using primary materials 
like those contained in the Kesey Collection. The 
library has developed a unique instructional program 
for training student scholars and researchers in the 
use of primary resources. The permanent acquisition 
of the Kesey 
collection will 
allow us to 
strengthen  
the UO’s tradition 
of fostering 
undergraduate 
research by 
offering students 
access to one  
of the most 
important and 
comprehensive 
literary and 
cultural research 
collections  
in the nation.

WHAT’S  IN  THE COLLECTION?
Ken Kesey called Oregon “home” from the earliest 
days of his youth. He was born in La Junta, Colorado, 
on September 17, 1935, but his father moved the 
family to Oregon when Ken was eleven. He attended 
Springfield High School, where he participated in 
football and wrestling, and where he was voted “Most 
Likely to Succeed.” Springfield High School recently 
honored him on what would have been his seventy-
fourth birthday by dedicating a work of art depicting 
the famous bus Furthur, created by three Springfield 
High students.
Ken’s undergraduate years at the University of 
Oregon were defined by a remarkably active level of 
participation in campus life. He was a conference 
champion in his weight class on the UO’s wrestling 
team. He acted in university theater productions; was 
a columnist for the student newspaper, The Emerald; 
and was active in fraternal and social organizations. 
He graduated with a bachelor of science degree in 
speech in 1957.
Ken launched his writing career at the UO in 1957 
when he published his first short story, “The First 
Sunday in September,” in the UO’s literary magazine, 
Northwest Review. Twenty years later, Northwest 
Review honored the famous Oregon writer when it 
devoted a special double-issue to him, featuring some 
of his work from unpublished manuscripts that are 
now part of the Ken Kesey Collection.
The University of Oregon has honored Ken with 
several of its most prestigious awards: the UO 
Distinguished Service Award (1978), UOAA 
Distinguished Alumni Award (1984), membership  
in the Webfoot Society (1984), and the Pioneer  
Award (1986). In 2003, a Kesey symposium was  
held at the UO to honor his memory. 
In 1990, Ken returned to the UO campus to teach  
a graduate-level creative writing class, using the 
occasion to have his thirteen students coauthor  
a novel called Caverns, published under the 
pseudonym O.U. Levon (UO Novel spelled 
backwards).
Ken has received several statewide honors, including 
an Oregon Distinguished Service Award in 1978 and 
the Oregon Arts Commission’s Governors Arts Award. 
The Oregon Cultural Heritage Commission included 
Sometimes a Great Notion in its list of 100 Oregon 
books that have best exemplified the state’s rich 
literary heritage.
Although Oregon serves as the setting for his two 
most famous books, it figures even more prominently 
in the thematic content of his work. He drew much 
inspiration from the environment in which he lived, 
and his Oregon experiences led him to value deeply 
the independence of thought and strength of 
character he saw in residents throughout the state. 
Ken’s legacy tells us much about Oregon and the  
UO, and his literary output will forever bear the 
stamp of Oregon.

Grail at Home,” Seattle Times 
Magazine, May 30, 2004

In 1956, Ken married his high school sweetheart, Faye Haxby. After Ken 
graduated from the UO, the couple moved to California, where, in 1958, 
he enrolled in the creative writing program at Stanford University under 
a Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship. 
Ken and Faye returned to Oregon in the summer of 1962. Ken traveled to 
Oregon’s coastal timber communities and logging sites to gather material 
for Sometimes a Great Notion, which recounts the trials and tribulations 
of the Stamper family as they eke out a living against long odds in the 
woods of Oregon. 
In 1967 the Keseys moved permanently back to Oregon from California, 
settling on Ken’s father’s farm in Pleasant Hill, a few miles outside 
Eugene. The Keseys raised their four children there; two of their sons, 
Jed and Zane, followed in their father’s footsteps by attending the UO 
and becoming members of the UO wrestling team. 
For the next 34 years, Ken covered much ground in pursuit of his varied 
interests. He was a school board member, wrestling coach, family man, 
farmer, and artist. He remained active in local civic issues, worked on 
several film and performance projects, tended blueberry crops, and 
raised animals. The farm became famous as a venue for visits from the 
many friends and acquaintances, old and new, who were drawn by 
Kesey’s magic and mystique. At his death in 2001, he was buried—
fittingly, in a tie-dye casket—on his beloved Kesey family farm in 
Pleasant Hill.

“For three decades, they came 
to this swath of land 10 miles 
outside Eugene and the red-
barn Kesey house marked with 
a painted white star inside 
a blue circle. They came for 
gatherings and performances, 
for parties and thrills as well 
as for storytelling and movie-
making, silliness and reflection. 
They came from all walks of life, 
eras, parts of the country and 
frames of mind. Some came for 
the Kesey charisma, some were 
drawn by the legend, but mostly, 
especially in the later years, they 
simply came for friendship.”

This spring, several events were held in support  
of acquiring the Kesey Collection as a permanent 
library collection:
• OPUS VII art gallery and Tsunami Books in Eugene 
each hosted an event featuring displays of Kesey’s 
work and readings from his unpublished material 
by university and community authors. 
• Portland Center Stage ran a month-long production 
of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest in the Gerding 
Theater, where items representative of the Kesey 
Collection were displayed in the theater lobby.
• “From Ken’s Pen,” a day-long series of campus 
events celebrating Ken Kesey and his work, 
included:
» a visit from the iconic Furthur II bus
» an exhibit of Kesey’s Jail Journal and a talk by 
fellow Merry Prankster Ed McClanahan at the 
UO’s Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art
» an afternoon open house in Special Collections 
and University Archives where dozens of 
unique items from the Kesey Collection were  
on display
» a talk by literary scholar and Kesey biographer 
Robert Faggen
» the West Coast premier screening of the 
documentary film Magic Trip: Ken Kesey’s

The UO Libraries is fortunate to have 
forward-looking donors whose support 
helps build strong libraries in the future 
at the same time they aid libraries and 
students in the present. Library donor 
Dorris Thomas provides a case in point: 
She funded the Robert and Dorris 
Thomas Endowment that offers UO 
students an introduction to the field of 
librarianship through practical training 
with pay while working at the UO 
Libraries. These students gain valuable 
research and workplace skills as they 
prepare for a career in librarianship.
One of this year’s Thomas Interns is 
Heidi Scheidl. Below, Heidi describes 
her experience as a Thomas Intern 
while working with the Ken Kesey 
Collection.
“As a Thomas Intern working with the Ken Kesey 
Collection, my job centers on efforts to increase 
awareness of the collection’s importance to the  
UO and the state of Oregon. Mining the artifacts  
and selecting compelling examples of Ken Kesey’s 
work are exciting responsibilities. I am fascinated 
specifically by his drawings and the ways in which 
he edited his manuscripts. I carefully scan selected 
documents and create metadata to ensure that the 
material can be easily found and identified at later 
dates. I also manage the Kesey Collection Facebook 
and Twitter pages and assist with public events 
specific to the collection, such as the “From Ken’s 
Pen” event.
 I received my undergraduate degree in inter-
disciplinary humanities at the UO. Currently, I am 
enrolled as a postbaccalaureate student in art history. 
In the fall, I will be enrolled in San José State 
University’s School of Library and Information 
Science, where I will focus on archival studies. I find 
it incredibly satisfying to gain practical experience 
working with a collection that is of vital importance 
to our local, regional, and national cultural and 
literary heritage, and I am very grateful that the 
Thomas Internship allows me to do this work.”

THESE GIFTS ARE sometimes used to improve 
access to library and classroom technology, or they can 
be used to strengthen collections that contribute to the 
teaching and research needs in specific departments and 
across multiple fields of study.
UO students also directly benefit from these gifts through 
increased access to materials useful in their own research 
and the attendant gains they enjoy in the quality of 
classroom instruction.
In one recent example, an emerita professor of history  
made a substantial gift that allowed the library to enhance 
its collections in several areas. After consulting with their 
faculty liaisons across campus, librarians proposed using 
the gift to purchase a package of electronic and print 
resources that will create new research opportunities  
for faculty and students (see sidebar, “Strengthening  
the Collections”).
John McCole, head of the UO’s Department of History, 
explains why his department especially appreciates such 
gifts: “Gifts like these provide ongoing access to a  
wide variety of historical documents. They enrich faculty 
members’ research in their areas of speciality, and they 
enhance graduate education and the involvement of 
undergraduate students in research projects of their own. 
The preservation of document collections as electronic 
resources actually broadens the opportunity to conduct 
original research and writing. That’s why we’re particularly 
grateful for this gift. It will help ensure that future generations 
of UO students and faculty members have the resources 
they need to excel.”
The retired faculty member whose generosity made such  
a difference says she recalls the library’s role in helping build 
her own career. “I remember how grateful I was in the 1980s 
to find microfilm copies of Jane Addams’s papers and The 
Chicago Defender in Knight Library,” she says. “I wanted to 
help ensure that current and future students and faculty 
continue to have access to critical electronic and print 
resources as they conduct their classwork and research at  
the UO.”

T IMES (1881-1986) ,  
THE CHICAGO DEFENDER 
(1909-1975 )  Cover-to-cover, full-text and full-image content from these 
two highly influential newspapers will be extremely valuable to historians and  
other researchers. The West Coast perspective of the Los Angeles Times, 
published in one of America’s great melting-pot cities, and the perspective of  
The Chicago Defender, the most influential African-American newspaper in the 
U.S., will strengthen the diversity of the library’s collections.

Completing the Arts & Sciences modules will add tremendous depth 
and breadth to the library’s full-text offerings of core scholarly journals  
in history and many other areas.
•  JSTOR L IFE SCIENCES COLLECTION 
Adding the full Life Sciences Collection to the library’s former JSTOR package in  
the life sciences will raise the number of journal titles available from 97 to 264.
•  ARTS & HUMANIT IES CITATION INDEX
The Arts & Humanities Citation Index provides access to more than 1,400 arts  
and humanities peer-reviewed journals in 27 different subject categories. 
•  SPECIAL  COLLECTIONS PURCHASE FUND
This fund will be used to purchase unique or noteworthy collections to  
support research in the area of urban planning and the study of the urban  
West. The content will be selected to complement and strengthen existing  
special collections. 
STRENGTHENING THE COLLECTIONS:  
THE POWER OF A GIFT
Students value easy access to online and 
print resources in the library’s collections.
MAKE A LASTING DIFFERENCE AT THE LIBRARY
Your gift can help fulfill the library’s mission of enriching the student 
learning experience, encouraging exploration and research at all levels, 
and contributing to advancements in access to scholarly resources.
Providing a gift in your will to support the UO Libraries is a powerful 
way to ensure that future UO faculty and students have access to 
library resources.
A number of our supporters have let us know that they have included 
the UO Libraries in their estate plans. We hope their leadership will 
inspire you to do the same.

THE HISTORY OF 
TATTOOS IN EARLY 
OREGON NEWSPAPERS
From the sailors of 
yesteryear to the 
hipsters of today,  
there have always 
been Oregonians  
who are inclined to 
“get inked.” 
The Oregon-centric IFC sketch 
comedy series Portlandia has gone 
so far as to declare this the place 
where “the tattoo ink never runs 
dry”–and even a brief stroll 
around Stumptown would 
probably convince any visitor that 
tattooing has never enjoyed greater 
popularity in the Beaver State than 
it does today. That impression is 
most likely correct, but Historic 
Oregon Newspapers confirms that 
our interest in tattoos goes back 
much further.
According to textual and 
archaeological sources, tattooing is 
an art form that has been practiced 
for thousands of years in 
practically every region of the 
globe. It had even been widely 
utilized by European peoples in 
bygone times—ancient Greeks, 
Gauls, Saxons, Scythians, 
Thracians, and Britons all adorned 
their bodies in this fashion—but 
by the early Middle Ages, the art 
form had been all but forgotten in 
the West. It would not be 
rediscovered until the Age of 
Exploration, when Europeans first 
came into contact with 
Polynesians, Inuit, and American 
Indians. In fact, the word “tatau” 
(meaning “to mark”) comes to us 
from the Tahitian language; it was 
first recorded in the journals of 
Captain Cook during his Pacific 
voyage of 1769. (Many of Cook’s 
journal observations on 
indigenous tattooing cultures of 
the Pacific Rim can be found at 
http://www.captcook-ne.co.uk/
ccne/themes/people.htm.)
One hundred years after Cook’s 
voyage, the South Seas Islanders’ 
traditional practice of tattooing 
remained an ethnographic 
curiosity, often remarked upon by 
observers from the West, for 
example, in a Salem Evening 
Capital Journal article entitled 
“The Singular Samoans,” dated 
March 11, 1889. 
However, even as the mainstream 
of Euro-American society 
continued to view tattoos as 
primitive, mysterious, and even a 
little dangerous, certain Western 
subcultures were already 
beginning to adopt the practice by 
the later half of the 1800s. Primary 
among these were sailors and 
soldiers. Naturally, these 
professions were the ones that 
brought European men into 
contact with non-European 
Note: In this article, Jason Stone, manager of the library’s Oregon Digital Newspaper 
Program, uses a newly developed online resource, Historic Oregon Newspapers (see 
sidebar, page 11), to demonstrate how articles in older newspapers can be used to trace 
the development of social and cultural trends over time. This article, originally posted on 
ODNP’s blog, provides a fascinating look at how historic Oregon newspapers reported 
on the phenomenon of tattooing. 
Tattoos are 
truly an antique 
commodity of 
global cultural 
exchange.
 U N I V E R S I T Y  O F  O R E G O N  L I B R A R I E S    |    11 
cultures in distant parts of the 
world, such as Africa, East Asia, 
and Polynesia, where the 
tattooist’s art was still a living 
tradition.
The first Western people to be 
tattooed in more than six centuries 
were inked by indigenous artists. 
Eventually, some of the soldiers 
and sailors learned the craft and 
brought it back to the ports of 
Europe and America. Tattoos are 
truly an antique commodity of 
global cultural exchange.
The earliest story about tattoo art 
in a digitized Oregon newspaper is 
“An Admirer of Washington in 
Trouble,” from the Jacksonville 
Oregon Sentinel of December 10, 
1870. The story tells how a 
notorious Portland criminal 
named Shultz could most easily 
be identified by “the effigy of 
[George] Washington on 
horseback, tattooed upon his 
breast, in India ink. … Doubtless 
Shultz now regrets this 
indiscretion into which he was 
lead in his youth.” Here we have 
probably the first Oregonian ever 
to rue an impulsive tattoo 
decision—a sentiment to which 
many contemporary Oregonians 
can still relate!

influential sermon by Reverend

THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON LIBRARIES  has launched 
Historic Oregon Newspapers, a valuable new research and instructional tool useful 
to students and faculty members in higher education and K-12 classrooms, 
genealogy hobbyists, historical novelists, social and cultural anthropologists, and 
just about anyone else who has a curiousity about Oregon history. 
Funded with support from the National Endowment for Humanities, the Institute of 
Museum and Library Services – Library Services & Technology Act, the Oregon 
Cultural Trust, the UO Libraries, the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association, 
and generous private donations, the new resource brings Oregon’s history and 
civic heritage into an exciting new era of public accessibility. Now, anyone with a 
computer and Internet access can search more than 180,000 pages of digitized 
Oregon newspapers published prior to 1923, and view the complete contents of 
those pages anytime, anywhere.
Historic Oregon Newspapers is a product of the library’s Oregon Digital 
Newspaper Program (ODNP). For more information, visit the ODNP website at 
http://libweb.uoregon.edu/diglib/odnp/ or the ODNP Blog at http://odnp.
wordpress.com/, where other articles are posted on the development of social and 
cultural trends as documented in historic newspapers.
To discover for yourself how early Oregon newspapers covered your favorite

EXPLORING YOUR INTERESTS FROM A TO Z
Thomas DeWitt Talmage was 
reprinted in the Salem Capital 
Journal on November 13, 1893. 
The text of this oration provides 
good evidence that tattooed 
Americans were already becoming 
a familiar sight by this time. “You 
have seen a sailor roll up his 
sleeve and show you his arm 
tattooed with the figure of a 
favorite ship,” Talmage preached. 
“You have seen a soldier roll up 
his sleeve and show you his arm 
tattooed with the picture of a 
fortress where he was garrisoned. 
… You have seen many a hand 
tattooed with the face of a loved 
one either before or after marriage. 
… Now, God says that he has 
tattooed us upon his hands.”
By the turn of the 20th century, 
the Portland Oregonian is 
reporting on “the tattooing craze 
which has overspread all 
England.” The issue of January 7, 
1900, recounts that the fad began 
among aristocratic young men 
serving in the Boer War, but now it 
“is growing and spreading among 
civilians.” The article specifically 
alludes to one tattooed guardsman 
“who bears a title known the world 
over.” This seems to be a coy way 
for the editors to demonstrate that 
the trend indeed has reached the 
highest levels of society, but 
without going so far as to name 
names of the participating rich 
and powerful. Tattooing was, after 
all, still regarded by most readers 
as exotic and fairly scandalous 
business. Another Oregonian 
piece from later in the same year 
puts forth the then-novel notion 
that tattoos, at their best, might 
rise to the level of fine art.
Twenty years later, we find 
evidence that tattoos have become 
still more commonplace and more 
widely accepted by society at 
large. By 1920, the Klamath Falls 
Evening Herald felt quite 
comfortable printing a story about 
tattooed European royalty: King 
Edward VII of England, Charles 
XIV of Sweden, and “the late Czar 
of Russia” are all named among 
the “decorated.”
Tattoo art would continue to go in 
and out of style at various times 
throughout the 20th century. As 
the caption to an image in the 
Klamath Falls Evening Herald of 
June 9, 1922, indicated, even the 
ladies were getting in on the act, 
and more conservative-minded 
commentators were once again 
concerned that “it threatens to 
spread to America.” 
So the pattern was set: in the 
decades to follow, the tattoo “fad” 
would continue to wax and wane 
in popularity with the general 
public, right up to the latest revival 
that is still going strong today. 
Librarians work with UO faculty 
members and students to identify 
critical materials in all formats 
that enhance research and 
instructional opportunities on 
campus. Your gift—large or 
small—can help us acquire these 
materials and further improve  
the quality of education offered  
at the UO.

YOUR GIFT CAN HELP
From his office on the second floor of Chapman 
Hall, David Frank can look down on the busy 
students rushing along 13th Avenue. And from 
the vantage of professor and dean, he’s 
developed a fervent belief in the importance  
of the UO Libraries.
As the dean of the Robert D. Clark Honors College,  
Frank sees the impact the library has on students every  
day. For example, each year over 100 students use the  
UO Libraries while writing their senior thesis for the Clark 
Honors College. The Forensics Program, UO’s championship 
debate team (hosted by the Honors College), relies on the 
UO Libraries for debate preparation. It’s a championship 
that “would not have been possible but for our library,”  
says Frank. And hundreds of faculty and graduate students 
across every school and college utilize the library’s 
resources for their own research and publications.
Frank has seen the impact of the UO Libraries firsthand  
in his own teaching and research. Several years ago, he 
cotaught an Honors College class with Professor Suzanne 
Clark titled The University in War and Peace. In the class, 
students used archival materials from the personal papers 
and presidential records of Dr. Robert D. Clark, whose  
UO Presidency from 1969 to 1975 encompassed pivotal 
events in UO and U.S. history. Students in the class had 
the opportunity to work directly with primary sources and 
documents. Under the guidance of librarian and UO 
historian and archivist Heather Briston, students helped 
catalogue, describe, and digitize the archive for use by 
future generations.
Perhaps one of the most exciting outcomes of these kinds 
of research-intensive classes is that students can post their 
final papers and theses to UO Scholars’ Bank, which 
makes their work accessible to researchers anywhere in the 
world. At least five students wrote their senior thesis as a 
result of The University in War and Peace class, and 
Professor Clark and Dean Frank have a forthcoming book 
on the same subject. The class has also been added to the 
college’s annual curriculum. 
Certainly, engaging in study built on past research and 
reformulating one’s own ideas in the context of new 
information is an invaluable part of any student’s college 
career. With primary research, the payoff is even greater. 
“Primary research is so important because students will use 
that kind of judgment for the rest of their lives, whether they 
pursue business, history, law, or any other path,” Frank 
enthuses.
But none of this research, none of this discovery, would be 
possible without a comprehensive research library. Today’s 
libraries include a wealth of books, journals, archival 
documents, historical photographs, film, and other media. 
And these collections depend on the support of alumni and 
other friends of the university who make it possible for the 
university to infuse its holdings with new materials. 
As Frank says, “The UO Libraries hold knowledge to help 
us understand our lives and solve problems. The beauty, 
art, and science that result from close study absolutely 
require a good academic library.” 
Indeed, the process of research helps students articulate 
what it means to be a human being at this point in history;  
it helps them to imagine a better world and gives them  
tools to make that world a reality.

“The Science Library was the team’s unofficial office . . . The library provided 
access to the general and reference collections for our research. Some  
of our major research tools were WorldCat, where we located one of our 
cornerstone resources, Agricola and BioOne. We also utilized the MAP 
Collection to retrieve supplemental aerial photographs, which provided a 
visual aspect to our historical research. The library resources helped tie  
the different aspects of our project together.”

“I met with manuscripts librarian Linda Long, and she helped me begin this 
endeavor by explaining the layout of the Tee Corinne Papers and introducing 
me to several other pertinent collections . . . including the Feminist and 
Lesbian Periodical Collection, the Southern Oregon Country Lesbian 
Archival Project, and the Ruth Mountaingrove Photography Collection. With 
these, and the Tee Corinne Papers, I found that I had more than enough 
source material to complete a comprehensive research project.”

“My project had many parts and the resources offered by the UO Libraries—
in person, online, and in print—were vital to my success . . . For business 
students, there is no one better than business librarian Kaiping Zhang . . . 
She taught me a lot about how to develop a framework for a paper before 
diving into the search for good research . . . She also directed me to 
resources in our Science Library, and I worked with her to sort through my 
analysis of the industry research reports I was able to find using IBISWorld  
. . . I was blessed during my entire project to work with amazing advisors  
and librarians to find the most up-to-date and accurate information.”

WHY YOUR GIFT MATTERS
As of June 1, gifts and 
pledges to the University  
of Oregon Libraries this 
year total $1.5 million. 
Thank you to all who have donated or 
pledged so generously! Of particular 
note this year is the impact of annual 
gifts and bequests. 
Annual gifts provide a critical foundation 
of support to meet the library’s most 
pressing needs, especially in the area 
of technology. As technology continues 
to change exponentially, it is critical that 
the library provide computers and 
software necessary for students to 
succeed in their research and coursework. 
While students are still borrowing 
library books (yes, it’s true!), more and 
more often they are using technology 
to search the library’s extensive catalog 
and electronic databases, conduct 
research, write and edit papers, and 
create multimedia presentations. These 
technologies include library computers, 
software, scanners, printers, and more. 
Annual gifts help us keep pace with  
the constantly changing online 
environment.
More than half of the funds donated to 
the library this year will not be realized 
immediately but will bear fruit in years 
to come. Bequests through a will or 
living trust build a foundation for the 
future that is critical for the next 
generation of aspiring students.  
The unrestricted nature of these 
commitments affords future library 
administrators the maximum flexibility 
to meet tomorrow’s priorities, whatever 
they may be.
Thank you for thinking of the library 
today and in the future—we couldn’t  
do it without you!
Warm regards,
Lisa Manotti
Director, Library Development

Guissepe Vasi’s Delle Magnificenze di Roma Antica e Moderna, a rare, ten-volume set of 
works held in the collections of the Architecture and Allied Arts Library, was the centerpiece 
of a major exhibit mounted last fall at the UO’s Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. 
The exhibit, entitled “Giuseppe Vasi’s Rome:  
Lasting Impressions from the Age of the Grand  
Tour,” presented pictorial prints of Rome created  
by Guissepe Vasi (1710-1782) and other artists of  
the period. 
Acquired through the Marion Dean Ross Endowment, 
the large-format bound volumes of the Magnificenze 
(shown above on display in the museum) comprise 
several hundred prints that capture the vitality and 
variety of Rome at a time when traveling to the 
cultural capital was in vogue. The AAA Library  
also loaned for the exhibit the rare book Modello 
della Chiesa di S. Fillipo (1758) (also pictured, 
upper right), as well as five framed prints by Vasi.
Ed Teague, head of the AAA Library, facilitated the 
loan of the library’s materials for this landmark 
exhibit. According to Teague, “The Magnificenze 
is one of the most prized works in our holdings.  
Its inclusion in the exhibit along with other library 
holdings speaks to the library’s success in supporting 
research in art history, architecture, and other 
disciplines.”
