McDonald Rare Book and Manuscript Collection, 2041-1763 BC, ca. 960-1941 AD
In the early 1930s, Mary McDonald (1848-1935), concerned with the preponderance of scientific and technical books at most
land grant universities, donated a rare book collection to the Oregon State University library. In 1934 the McDonald Rare
Book Room was established with gifts to the library of items from her collection. Since then, the McDonald endowment has enabled
the acquisition of over 2,000 rare books and fine bindings. Included in the collection are numerous incunabula (books printed
before 1501) and pre-1600 manuscripts. Among the exceedingly rare items housed in the McDonald Collection is Bernard de Gordon's
Lilium Medicinae, Lyons, 1480, as well as three cuneiform tablets, the oldest of which dates to 2041 BCE.
