Statement on Description:

We acknowledge that materials in SCARC collections and the language that describes them may be harmful. We are actively working to address our descriptive practices; for more information please see our SCARC Anti-Racist Actions Statement online.

The archivist-prepared description of this collection uses the phrase “Civil War” to refer to the long-standing athletic rivalry between Oregon State University and the University of Oregon. A history of this athletic rivalry, and use of the phrase “Civil War” to describe it, is available online in The Origins of the "Civil War" Football Game blog post.

In June 2020, Oregon State University President Edward J. Ray announced that the term  “Civil War” will no longer be used by either university because it “represents a connection to a war fought to perpetuate slavery.”

We acknowledge the racism represented by the use of this phrase and the harm it may cause our users. In order to provide historical context and to enable standardized searching and access across our collections, we have retained the use of this phrase in the collection description.

Series 6: Hewlett-Packard, 1992-1997 Add to Shelf

Kraemer worked for Hewlett-Packard (HP) for over three decades. During the 1990s, he collected various materials pertaining to the company’s LGBTQ+ activities, policies, trainings, group meetings, and inter-office correspondence. This series predominantly consists of email correspondence, but also includes information pertaining to HP’s Gay, Lesbian, & Bisexual Employee Network (GLEN), and copies of HP’s publication Measure Magazine.

The 1993 correspondence contains several online threads where HP employees engage in debate regarding topics of LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion at HP and in society more broadly. Topics addressed in these threads include domestic partner benefits, HP’s stance on anti-gay legal initiatives, healthcare, gay marriage and discrimination. The materials pertaining to domestic partner benefits include a statement by HP sharing the company’s stance on affirmative action. The documents pertaining to GLEN consist of email correspondence, meeting minutes, diversity training and workshop materials, photographs, GLEN promotional and educational materials, and materials sharing community resources. There are three issues of Measure Magazine; the issues include articles pertaining the presence and work of employee networks at HP, such as GLEN, violence and harassment in the workplace, and diversity. Also included in the series is an email internally shared by an HP employee in which he reflects on his experience participating in a gender diversity training; the initial email is accompanied by a massive email chain in which other employees share their thoughts. Additionally, there is email correspondence describing a group in Colorado known as GROUND ZERO as well as a document titled “Gay & Lesbian Issues and Culture on National Public Television.”

The records in this series have been digitized and are available upon request.
