Memorial Union Records, 1922-2012
The Memorial Union Records document the administration of this organization and its role in managing services and events at the two student union facilities at Oregon State University: the Memorial Union and the Memorial Union East (also known as Snell Hall). Spanning the years 1922 to 2012, these records include: annual reports, correspondence, course materials, digital files, financial records, flyers, handbooks, meeting minutes, photographs, posters, publications, scrapbooks, and sound recordings. The Memorial Union has served as OSU's official student union facility since 1928.
Items from this collection have been digitized and are available in Oregon Digital. All of the collection's audiocassettes have likewise been migrated to digital format and are available upon patron request. Additionally, the contents of box-folder 9.30 have been digitized and are available upon request.
Access to term papers and reports in Series 8 is restricted due to the presence of confidential information. For more information about access to restricted materials, please see our Guide to the Special Collections and Archives Research Center. All other material in this collection is open for research.
Technical accessioning of digital media received with the Memorial Union records resulted in 2.83 Mbytes (64 files) of born-digital materials. These were reviewed and appraised for long-term administrative and historical value. This review resulted in a 2.39 Mbytes (4 files) of archival born-digital materials that are described as part of the Memorial Union Records.
The Memorial Union Records include one reel of microfilm (6 feet total) that was made in 1967. As part of the processing of this collection and preparation of this finding aid, the microfilm was digitized. The digital files (PDFs) are available to researchers in the Reading Room.
