Staff files: Boudreau, Jack K. (RESTRICTED), 2001

This collection spans the library’s history, with materials produced largely by library employees and committee members. There are records, blueprints, reports, floor plans, staff files, publicity materials, press clippings, exhibit materials, newsletters, memoranda, and surveys, as well as some more off-beat items, such a cane and a four-leaf clover. There is a good deal of material related to the creation of the BICC and the foundation of the Orbis Cascade Alliance. Researchers interested in Bertha Hallam and early Oregon librarianship will find her personal records of great interest. Some aspects of the collection, including surveys about Y2K, may be interesting to historians of the early Internet.
