Historical Note:
The Oregon State Horticultural Society was formed in 1885 and
incorporated in 1909 as an educational organization working for the advancement
of horticulture. The staff of the Horticulture Department at OSU were closely
associated with the society from its beginnings. The society's secretary was
traditionally the extension horticulturalist.
The Meeting Minutes and Proceedings include minutes journals in original
form and on microfilm. In addition to meeting minutes, the journals include
memberships lists, by-laws, and articles of incorporation. The Fiscal Records
(Series II) document the finances of the Society. The General Correspondence
for 1917-1924 consists of letters written or received by C.D. Minton, the
Society’s Secretary-Treasurer for that time period. Series III also includes
correspondence received by filbert and walnut specialist A.A. Quarnberg of
Vancouver, Washington, from 1909 to 1931. The Printed Materials include meeting
programs for 1893-1964 and Oregon State Board of Horticulture biennial reports
for selected years, begininng with 1891, which include proceedings of the
annual Horticultural Society meetings.
The records are organized into 4 series: I. Meeting Minutes and
Proceedings; II. Financial Records; III. Correspondence; and IV. Printed
