The Documenting UO History Project aims to research, document, and disseminate major portions of the university's hidden history, especially underrepresented groups and individuals, by engaging students and faculty in the documentation process, developing a variety of resources for dissemination, and conducting outreach with alumni and students for donations of records, documents, and ephemera to add to the collection. If you're interested in participating or have items to donate, find out more information here.
Our collections exist to be used. When students work directly with primary source materials, historic photographs, and documents that are old or unique, they discover an excitement and passion not generated by textbooks.
Primary source documents can inspire, but they also teach about learning to verify sources, tracking down connections, finding evidence from content and from physical clues.
The University Archives is the official repository of the University of Oregon's permanent historical records dating from 1872 to present. The collection was created to collect, describe, preserve, and provide access to permanent records created or received in connection with the transaction of university affairs, as well as regarding documenting student life on campus. The archives includes administrative records, university publications, theses and dissertations, photographic prints and negatives, audio tapes, film, and memorabilia reflecting history and events connected to the history of the University.
