The Memorial Union Records document the administration of this organization and its role in managing services and events at the two student union facilities at Oregon State University: the Memorial Union and the Memorial Union East (also known as Snell Hall). Spanning the years 1922 to 2012, these records include: annual reports, correspondence, course materials, digital files, financial records, flyers, handbooks, meeting minutes, photographs, posters, publications, scrapbooks, and sound recordings. The Memorial Union has served as OSU's official student union facility since 1928. Items from this collection have been digitized and are available in Oregon Digital. Historical Note:

The Memorial Union (MU) was built in dedication to the men who fought and died in the Spanish American War and World War I. Initial brainstorming for the building began as early as 1919; final construction was completed in 1928. The architect, Lee Arden Thomas visited other Memorial Unions, both for style inspiration, and to observe how they were run. All of these observations contributed to the final design of Oregon Agricultural College’s MU in 1928. For the first 20 years the MU acted more as a convention center than a hub for student activities. Primarily it was used to host dances, and a few publications had offices in the building. In late 1947, a compulsory student operational fee was applied to support the MU. This brought in needed funds to transform the MU into a recreational center for the Oregon State College campus. Recreational activities included hospitality, social dancing, games, and arts and crafts. This ultimately led to the Student Activity Center and the MU to join together under one administrative unit. With these changes came increased use of the MU, which lead to additions to the MU's physical space. The Memorial Union has continued to change and adapt to student needs over the years.

These materials were transferred in numerous accessions from the 1960s through 2015 by the Oregon State University Memorial Union Business Office, the Associated Students of OSU, the Office of Student Involvement, the Office of Student Affairs, the College Student Services Administration Program, and the OSU Women's Center.

Technical accessioning of digital media received with the Memorial Union records resulted in 2.83 Mbytes (64 files) of born-digital materials.  These were reviewed and appraised for long-term administrative and historical value.  This review resulted in a 2.39 Mbytes (4 files) of archival born-digital materials that are described as part of the Memorial Union Records.

The Memorial Union Records include one reel of microfilm (6 feet total) that was made in 1967.  As part of the processing of this collection and preparation of this finding aid, the microfilm was digitized.  The digital files (PDFs) are available to researchers in the Reading Room.

Access to term papers and reports in Series 8 is restricted due to the presence of confidential information. All requests for access to this material should be directed to the University Archivist. All other material in this collection is open for research.
