Established in 1976, the Nurse-Midwifery Program at OHSU enables nursing students to become certified in midwifery while earning their masters. This collection, originating from program founder Carol Howe, consists of records on Howe herself, the Midwives of Color Committee, ethics and liability concerns, educational courses, and grant opportunities, among other topics. This collection provides insight into the formation and day-to-day operations of the program.

OHSU launched the Board of Overseers and Trustees in 1979 with the purposes of understanding the complex nature of an academic health sciences center, building relationships with individuals and organizations in the private sector, and serving as advocates for the university. The records span 1976-1996 and consist of the files of individual board members as well as records related to the overarching activities of the board and other supporting documents.
