Gerald W. Williams Collection
Documenting Natural Resources in Oregon
In 2007 the OSU Libraries acquired the Gerald W. Williams Collection, consisting
of the collected historic photographs, personal papers, and research library of
Gerald "Jerry" Williams, former national historian for the U.S. Forest Service.
Williams, a native Oregonian, spent much of his Forest Service career in the Pacific
Northwest, prior to being appointed national historian in 1998. This digital collection
includes some of the best imagery from the Williams Collection.
Many of the historic photos are postcards arranged in several geographically based
albums. Examples include the Umpqua, Columbia River, and Willamette Valley albums.
Several books from Williams' 3,000 volume research library, many pertaining to natural
resources issues, are being made available digitally through ScholarsArchive@OSU.
