University of Oregon

The University of Oregon Library will collaborate with the University's Museum of Natural History to bring the unique work of a local photographer and audio archivist to a wider audience. Mr. Hunter, who began documenting the sights and sounds of Oregon's people and places in the 1930s, created multi-media presentations that combine historic images with unique recorded and collected sounds, including sounds from nature such as rare bird calls. The project will provide a model for the digitization of diverse audio and visual records in a variety of formats.
