Acquisition Note:
The materials that comprise this collection were donated to the Oregon State University Library by Maris' daughter, Marjorie Maris Peterson, in 1968, 1982, and 1993. The materials donated in 1968 were used as part of the University's centennial celebration. While the intent of the Library in 1982 was to transfer the materials received at that time to the University Archives, the transfer was not completed until 1997. Additional materials (perhaps some of the materials received in 1993) were transferred from the Oregon State University Libraries Special Collections to the Archives in 2001. All of the materials are now considered part of the holdings of the Special Collections and Archives Research Center.
