- Description:
- Created by students in LIB 410: Humanities Research Data Management at the University of Oregon, this digital collection thematic research topic is focused on the forestry industry in Oregon in the 19th and 20th centuries. The students chose this topic because forestry is an important part of Oregon’s history and economy, as the state is still one of the top producers of lumber in the United States today. This collection focuses on the workers who help run this industry, with photographs depicting men at work, maps of worker camp sites, as well as the tools and machinery they used to process and transport lumber collected from different GLAMS. By collecting these digital objects together, the students hope that viewers can get a glimpse into the day-to-day lives of loggers and forestry workers in Oregon.
