by the thousands. The Oregon Regional Federal Depository Collection is made up of many treasures that can be found in the extra-tall shelves in the basement. This collection is receiving some much-needed attention to ensure the materials are added to the State
Library’s online catalog, and this is a great opportunity to highlight some interesting, unusual, or otherwise noteworthy publications that have surfaced.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

States Bureau of Standards and its subsequent agency iterations. The documents range from massive math textbooks to pamphlets detailing metric system conversions for home use. Dates for the series begin in the early 1910s and continue through as recently as
the late 1990s. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

jewelry, and more. It stands as a record of collaboration between the arts and sciences to preserve history and ensure the enduring value of cultural objects, even if most of the chemistry-heavy sections were too technical for the average person to understand.

to come. While metal may be considered one of the more durable materials for item construction, according to this collection of studies, there’s a lot that goes into making sure a metal item lasts for centuries. From chemical composition of the material to
how to item was used, and even the weather can change how metal degrades over time. These variables are reminiscent of how we here at the State Library must consider how we store materials to ensure they won’t degrade: temperature, use and even digital formats
are closely monitored to make sure the public has permanent access to our materials. All of the materials we are discovering in the C-13 range of the basement are now available through the online
