Gateway to the Past — Special Collections and the Honors College

By Kallie Hagel on March 3, 2025

"This 2010 "Honors Link" magazine feature explores the longstanding connection between the Oregon State University Libraries Special Collections and Archives Research Center (SCARC) and the Honors College. Home to the Ava Helen and Linus Pauling Papers, this collection has provided invaluable research opportunities for honors students for over a decade. Many Honors College students have worked in SCARC, contributing to cataloguing, event planning and archival research. In turn, honors chemistry students have gained unique access to these materials for their research. This collaboration has allowed honors students to step beyond the classroom, explore new fields, engage in real-world research and take on meaningful academic challenges." — Ava Wittman, Honors College Student Writer
