The issues that comprise this archival collection are available online in Oregon Digital.

Historical Note:
The Oregon State Technical Record superseded the Student Engineer, which was published from 1908 to 1923.
The Oregon State Technical Record was establshed in 1924 with the aim of becoming a member of the Engineering College Magazines Associated which was attained in 1928 when the publication was admitted to membership of the association. A benefit of membership was being eligible to obtain national advertising to support the magazine's production. The Technical Record received several honors from the association in the 1930s. Publication was temporarily suspended in 1944 and 1945 during World War II. In 1948, the title became Oregon State Tech Record.
Publication ended with the May 1959 issue (v. 34, no. 4).

The Oregon State Technical Record Engineering Magazine is arranged in one series.
The Oregon State Technical Record was written, edited, and published by engineering students at Oregon State College. It was initially published by the Federated Engineers of Oregon Agricultural College and then the Associated Engineers. Beginning in 1948, the undergraduate students of the School of Engineering were in charge of the publication.
During most of its existence, the magazine was published 4 times per academic year in November, January, March, and May. The magazine includes technical articles written by students, faculty, and alumni; information about engineering courses and research activities; announcements of student activities for engineering students; and articles about regional developments in industry, engineering, and technology. Campus news, especially regarding facilities and engineering topics; notices from the engineering technical and honor societies; and alumni news are also included. Most issues have a column written by the Dean of the School of Engineering and many have departmental notes and news. Editorials by the magazine staff address a variety of topics. The magazine is illustrated with photographs and includes a humor page as well as local, regional, and national advertising.
The issues that comprise this archival collection are available online in Oregon Digital. Most (about 80%) of the magazine issues are represented in this archival collection. The archival collection does not include the first 3 issues -- published in March, June and November 1924. These are are available, with all issues of the Oregon State Technical Record, in the History of Oregon State University rare book collection. An index that includes references for the Technical Record and its predecessor, the Student Engineer, is available in the History of Oregon State University collection and online.
