In the fall of 2000,
Noreen Cartwright donated her personal collection of 700 rare and antique dog
books to The Valley Library's Special Collections. The purpose of its gifting to Oregon State
University is to provide the nucleus of a canine research
collection so that future donations of suitable material can be made by
like-minded individuals. The collection will provide opportunities for international research in the following areas:
Canines in Art, Literature, History and Psychology; Worldwide Development of Canine Breeds and Breed Specific History; Theoretical
Guidelines for Understanding Issues in Canine Breeding; Issues Involved in Pedigree Research and the Understanding of Inherited
Characteristics; Medical Problems and Treatment of Canine Diseases: Historic and Current; Training of Canines for Service,
Military and Pleasure; Canine Competition: National and International.
