This addition to the Herman T. Bohlman Photograph Collection is made up of 21photographic images on glass plate negatives and glass lantern slides that depict excursions by Bohlman with William Finley and others to various locations throughout Oregon, Washington, and California to document birds. Taken by both Bohlman and Finley, these images illustrate the pair traveling to marshlands, rivers, and the ocean photographing birds as well as themselves in the process. The birds pictured in these shots include pelicans (Klamath Lake, Or.), a condor (California), common murres (Three Arch Rocks, Or.), and caspian terns (Klamath Lake). Some of the images in this transfer show Bohlman and Finley on a camping trip along the Lewis River. Others portrayed in these photos with Bohlman include Dallas Lore Sharp, A.W. Anthony, and Irene Finley. There is also one portrait shot of Bohlman as a young man. Some of these photographs were featured in Worth Mathewson's book "William L. Finley: Pioneer Wildlife Photographer."
Herman Theodore Bohlman was born on April 15, 1872 in Portland, Oregon, and lived there all of his life. He was a lifelong friend of William L. Finley, renowned ornithologist, naturalist, and conservationist. Bohlman and Finley were co-founders of the North-Western Ornithological Association in 1894. Several accounts tell of Bohlman teaching Finley photography, and the two started photographing birds in the late 1890s. Between 1899 and 1908 they made trips to the Columbia River (1900), Three Arch Rocks (1901 & 1903) on the Oregon coast, California (1904 & 1906), Klamath and Tule Lakes (1905), Malheur and Harney Lakes (1908), and other places to study and photograph birds. In 1912 Bohlman and Finley revisited the Klamath and Malheur regions.
This accession consists of materials documenting the OSU Pride Center and is made up of film footage, flyers, newspaper clippings, photographs, a poster, publications, a staff manual, and ticket stubs. These items primarily reflect events organized by Pride Center students and staff such as the Lavender Graduation ceremony, Queer Pride Week activities, and a "Drag Bingo" fundraiser for a LGBTQ student scholarship fund in honor of LGBT Services and Outreach Director Steven Leider. One of the publications is a LGBT Services Resource Guide.

This accession consists of materials generated and collected by Entomologist Frank Radovsky that document his acarology research (mites) and is made up of article reprints, correspondence, curriculum vitae, drawings, newspaper clippings, notes, photographs, reference materials, and speeches. Radovsky's specialization was the study of parasitic mites in the family Macronyssidae and most of these materials reflect his research for articles and the book "Revision of Genera of the Parasitic Mite Family Macronyssidae." Materials illustrating this research include article reprints, notes, index cards with reference citations, drawings/illustrations of mite anatomy, and published literature from other acarology researchers collected by Radovsky. The correspondence reflects Radovsky’s interaction with other acarologists, his work for the Bishop Museum, publication of research, collaboration with fellow OSU Entomology Gerald Krantz, and peer review of journal articles for publication. Numbering 9 prints in total, the photographs depict an unidentified and undated conference meeting.
Born in Fall River, Massachusetts, Frank Jay Radovsky's fascination with nature led him to study zoology at the University of Colorado, where he earned his undergraduate degree in 1951. After serving in the Korean War, Radovsky went on to pursue graduate studies in parasitology at the University of California. Earning his doctorate in 1964, Radovsky continued his work at the Hooper Foundation for Medical Research until 1969, when he accepted a position to Chair the Entomology Department at the Bishop Museum in Hawaii. Radovsky's association with the OSU Entomology Department spans two periods: first, as a visiting professor for several months in 1987 and again as a courtesy professor from 1994 to 2008. In addition to researching the systematics and behavior of macronyssids, Radovsky also served as an editor of several entomological journals. He died in 2010.
This acccession consists of materials documenting the research and writings of Political Science professor Richard L. Clinton and is made up of article reprints, book chapters, book reviews, conference papers, editorial pieces, reports, and research data. The bulk of this collection reflects Clinton's work on three studies pertaining to the attitudes toward, and the problems of, population policy formation in Peru. This transfer includes data from the first study in 1970 and the most recent one (1997-1998) in the form of completed questionnaires (in Spanish with comments in English by Clinton) and a codebook analyses of the results. Reports and a paper summarizing the results of the three studies (1970, 1983, 1997) are also included in this accession. In addition to population growth policies in Latin America, other topics addressed in these materials include: ecodevelopment, U.S. policies in Latin America, and higher education in Latin America.
With degrees in history, political science, and Latin American area studies, Richard Clinton came to OSU in 1976 to serve as an instructor in the Political Science Department. A Fulbright Scholar active as a researcher and consultant in a number of countries throughout Latin America, Clinton's primary focus of interest was the study of attitudes regarding population and development among the Peruvian governing class. Coursework taught by Clinton centered on the subjects of international relations, Latin American politics, and global interdependence. He retired in 2006.
This addition to the Gerald Williams Collection is made up of correspondence, newspaper clippings, maps, photographs, publications, reports, and signage collected by Williams that primarily document the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), but also the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and Native Americans. Most of the publications in this transfer are newsletters generated by the Forest Service and related organizations for distribution to current USFS staff, retired USFS employees, and enthusiasts of USFS history. One of the publications, published by the U.S. government, documents CCC camps for Native Americans. Among the reports are studies of the potential impact of the administrative transfer of the USFS to the Department of the Interior, USFS American Recovery and Reinvestment Act projects, and a history of the Northern Rocky Mountain Region of the USFS. The correspondence is a combination of e-mailed messages and news releases printed from the web about USFS, periodic listserv announcements from "Old Smokeys" (Pacific Northwest Forest Service Association), and Gerald's review of the draft manuscript for "Memoirs of David B. Marshall." Numbering about 112 images in total (100 postcards/prints; 12 negatives), the photographs depict natural landscapes throughout Oregon and Washington, CCC camps, members of the Warm Springs tribe, the U.S. Army Spruce Production Division, USFS employees, Oregon dams, and internees of a war objector camp during World War II. One of the three maps in this accession is a World War II era view of the Phillipine Islands.
This accession is made up of 20 account journals reflecting the family farms and ranches of father and son Carl and Ben Robinson. Documenting a variety of household expenses as well as the sales of cream, eggs, and other farm products, these journals reflect the Robinson family's agricultural work at four different farms in the vicinity of the towns of Cove and Imbler in Northeast Oregon. In addition to raising dairy cattle and pigs, the Robinsons also cultivated a variety of crops such as wheat, hay, grass seed, peas, and oats. One of the journals is an inventory listing the farm's livestock and their value. A gap in the continuity of the journals, from 1933 to 1941, is primarily the result of Carl's death in 1936 and the selling of his farm a year later. By 1942/43, Ben Robinson, with college training in dairy husbandry, had re-established the family farm on 555 acres near Imbler.
This accession consists of photographs taken by the Communication Media Center that are primarily portrait shots of students and staff. Numbering about 775 images in total (125 prints and 650 negatives), roughly half of these photographs are made up of head shots of students from the College of Engineering programs. Portrait shots of staff are organized alphabetically by last name and there is an inventory available listing the names. The subject matter in the images that are not portraits include an 1997 informational fair about campus services in the MU Ballroom, exterior views of the Women's Center building (Benton Annex), the President's Christmas Ball, 1991 pre-commencement ceremony activities, and Bates Hall.
