Special Collections

Special Collections contains the Ava Helen and Linus Pauling Papers, the Bernard Malamud Papers, the Milton Harris Papers, and several other manuscript collections of notable Oregon State Alumni. Titles designated as "Special Collections" or " Vault" in the online catalog are also stored here. The Special Collections staff provides reference services related to the collections and vault materials.

Patrons may view an exhibit of personal items and photos from the Ava Helen and Linus Pauling Papers, as well as a re-creation of two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling's office.

Special Collections provides educational tours for campus and community groups by appointment.
