 Don L. Hunter Project Educational Resources
In September 2003, the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History and the University Libraries were awarded an Institute of Museum and Library Services National Leadership Grant. The scope of the project was to digitally archive and create educational curriculum centering on Oregon photographer and audio archivist Don Hunter's sights and sounds of the Pacific Northwest, which have been collected since the 1930s. In the 1950s, Mr. Hunter developed from his unique collection a series of multiple slide projector shows that have been presented throughout the region.
As part of the archive project a select number of these presentations were reproduced on DVDs and will be distributed free of charge to middle and high schools throughout the state of Oregon. The educational component of the project additionally developed study guides for middle and high school instructors that complement the selected DVD presentations. These guides utilize both short activity and long-term project based structures to assist instructors in presenting content focused on such topics as archeological methods, geological processes, and local historical storytelling.
Virtual Geology Tour
The Virtual Geology Tour of the University of Oregon is an online version of a self-guided discovery walk of campus created by the Museum of Natural History Public Programs Division.
Our walking tours of campus encourage you to learn through observation and explore the science in your own backyard. Campus sites visited include Cascade Courtyard, Columbia 150, Knight Library, Pioneer Cemetery, Student Recreation Center, Villard Hall, and many more.
