Information and credits
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.
