Cooperative Governors' Papers Project: A Planning Grant

About This Grant

A consortium of three public and private higher education libraries (Willamette University, Portland State University, and Western Oregon University) will cooperatively identify, solicit for donation, process, and preserve the non-official and personal papers of the 13 Oregon governors since World War II. Selected portions of the collections will be digitized for access and viewing on the Web. The scope of the proposal is all materials other than those collected by the Oregon State Archives in Salem. This project is an identification and proof-of-concept phase that would set the stage for a larger project dependent on the outcome of the discovery portion of this first effort.
