Special Collections and University Archives is proud to host this course from the Society of American Archivists (SAA). Arrangement and Description of Digital Records introduces you to foundational and advanced processing strategies that are applicable to born-digital and hybrid (i.e., mixed analog and digital) records, with an emphasis on basic concepts that archivists use to establish descriptive control over digital content and hands-on work. You’ll learn about standards and tools that can be used to implement an integrated processing strategy, as well as use a variety of software tools to establish descriptive control over digital archives.  

Special Collections and University Archives is proud to host this course from the Society of American Archivists (SAA). The field of digital forensics often evokes imagery of prime-time television crime dramas. But what is it, and how can archivists put digital forensics tools and processes to use in their home institutions? Archivists are more likely than ever to be confronted with collections containing removable storage media (e.g., floppy disks, hard drives, thumb drives, memory sticks, and CDs). These media provide limited accessibility and may endanger the electronic records housed within, due to obsolescence and loss over time. Caring for these records requires archivists to extract whatever useful information resides on the medium while avoiding the accidental alteration of data or metadata.

Join us for a celebration of our student fellows!

Each year, Special Collections and University Archives is honored to offer a series of student fellowships that give UO Ducks a chance to work in our special collections repository. Join us to celebrate our current fellows as they share their incredible work in the archive.

Join the University of Oregon (UO) Libraries to celebrate "Chasing Gold at Hayward: The UO’s Olympic Trials Legacy," an exhibit celebrating the entwined histories of UO’s Hayward Field and the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Track & Field. This immersive, archival exhibit details the significant connection between the UO, the U.S. Olympic Team Trials, and the University’s beloved Hayward Field. Positioned at the heart of a bustling university campus, the iconic stadium stands as a testament to Eugene’s fervent local athletic community and its enduring passion for track and field.  It is the site of stories of victories, heartaches, and record-breaking moments.  

Join us in the Knight Library Browsing Room (Knight 106) to enjoy short program featuring Vice Provost and University Librarian Dr. Alicia Salaz and Athletics Archivist and exhibit curator Lauren Goss. Beverages and small bites will be served.
