Public Health in Oregon: Accessing Historical Data for Scientific Discovery

About This Grant

The Oregon Health and Science University archives hold extensive 19th -20th century collections documenting public health in Oregon. Many of the records deal with under-served populations including rural communities, the disabled, the mentally ill, ethnic minorities and adolescents. This valuable research is not digitally accessible, which hinders modern research. The project will digitize such materials and extract data from a curated selection for research, teaching and scientific discovery.
