The Hatfield Marine Science Center
Photographs consist of images of the Center's facilities in Newport
Oregon; Yaquina Bay and the Oregon coast at Newport; and Oregon State
University's research vessels. The Marine Science Center was established
by Oregon State University in 1965 as a marine laboratory for research,
education, and outreach.
Materials in English.
Historical Note:
Oregon State University established the Marine Science Center in
Newport, Oregon, in 1965 as a marine laboratory. In 1983, the Marine
Science Center was officially re-named as the Hatfield Marine Science
Center for Oregon Governor and U.S. Senator Mark Hatfield. The Center
serves as Oregon State University's campus for research, education, and
outreach in marine and coastal sciences.
The 180-foot
Yaquina research vessel was commissioned by
the OSU Department of Oceanography in 1964.
The Totem buoy was an OSU Department of Oceanography project in the
late 1960s to construct a 30-ton 194-foot research buoy. The Totem was
towed to sea in a horizontal position, forced to a vertical position, and
used for oceanographic research.
The Hatfield Marine Science Center Photographs document the Center's
facilities and surroundings in Newport, Oregon. The photographs include
aerials views of the Center buildings and docks, the Newport Jetty,
Yaquina Bay, and the Newport coastline and waterfront. About half of the
collection consists of color slides taken in 1997 of the exteriors of the
Center buildings.
Photographs of Oregon State University's research vessels, the
Paiute, Cayuse, and Yaquina
are included as well as the Totem buoy. One photographic print depicts the
Oceanography Building (now Burt Hall) on the Corvallis campus. A 1975
photograph by Lee Kuhn shows Spencer Smith, Director of the U.S. Fish and
Wildife Service; R.E. Dimick, Head of the OSU Department of Fisheries and
Wildife from 1935 to 1963; and Richard Tubb, the newly appointed
department head for Fisheries and Wildlife at OSU.
The collection includes a variety of formats: color slides; b/w and
color prints; and negatives and prints of 9x9 inch color and b/w aerial
photographs. Identified photographers include the OSU News Bureau, Lee
Kuhn, and William Q. Wick.
Collection is open for research.
