Historical Note:
OSU's oceanography program began in 1954 with a small research grant
from the Office of Naval Research. It was established as a department in 1959
to fulfill the need for trained oceanographers and basic oceanographic research
in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. The department
became the School of Oceanography in 1972 and the College of Oceanography in
1983. When the Atmospheric Sciences Department was transferred to the college
in 1993, Oceanography was renamed the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric
Sciences.
The college's first research vessel, the
Acona, was commissioned in 1961. Other
research vessels have included the
Yaquina, the
Cayuse, and the
Wecoma. The college's coastal research
facility, the Hatfield Marine Science Center, opened in 1965.
Subgroup 1 documents the administration of the college and its research
vessels in the 1960s and 1970s. Records include program proposals, reports, 5
year plans, correspondence and dedication materials pertaining to the college's
research vessels, and materials pertaining to other oceanographic research
organizations. Subgroup 2 documents the operations of the research vessels
Yaquina and
Cayuse. It includes deck log books and cruise reports from
1964-1979, and ship operations grant records from 1960-1967.
Organized into two subgroups: 1. Dean's Office; and 2. Ship
Operations.

Other oceanography and marine resource records are available in the Sea
Grant College Program Records (RG 201) and Hatfield Marine Science Center
Records (RG 194). The Atmospheric Sciences Department Records (RG 167) document
that department before its incorporation into the College of Oceanography.
Photographs are in the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences Photograph
Collection (P 203). The Archives' publications collections include many series
published by the College.
