Content Description
This collection consists of photographs of Station research both in
Corvallis and at Branch Stations throughout Oregon. Subjects include Station
personnel; Branch station and campus buildings and research facilities; and
research projects in agricultural chemistry, agricultural engineering, animal
sciences, dairy husbandry, entomology, crop and soil science, fisheries and
wildlife, food technology, horticulture, irrigation, microbiology, nutrition,
poultry science, and vegetable crops.
Many of the photographs were taken by Robert Birdsall, Agricultural
Information Specialist (1952-1963) and later Journalism Department faculty
(1963-1983). Other photographers include Bob Mason, Bill Reasons, and Len
Calvert.
This collection consists almost exclusively of b/w contact prints and
camera negatives (4x5 and 120). The contact prints are glued to 6x9 in. cards.
There are also a few b/w 8x10 prints without camera negatives (P132:237-238)
and several color prints and negatives (P132:239-241). One negative (P132:054)
has been removed from the collection because of excessive buckling of the
emulsion.
