Collection is open for research.
Campus Directories (PUB 002-22c), Oregon State University Special Collections and Archives Research Center, Corvallis, Oregon.
Campus Directories, especially for the 1930s and early 1960s that are not part of this archival collecion are available in the History of OSU Collection (HistOSU LD 4338 .A5), a rare book collection in the Special Collections and Archives Research Center. The Staff Directories (PUB 002-21a) include names and directory information for Oregon State employees beginning in 1905; these directores also include students for 1905 and 1908, before a separate student directory was published. Administrative information about the publication of the Fussers' Guide is available in the Student Media Records (RG 239).
The Graduate School Records (RG 016) include directories of international graduate students in the 1950s and 1960s. The Memorabilia Collection (MSS MC) includes various directories of organizations and departments as well as emeriti faculty directories produced in the late 1990s.
The College of Pharmacy (RG 105) and College of Business (RG 122) Records document instruction and academic programs available in those fields at Oregon State.
The Campus Directories are arranged in 6 series: 1. C-P Journal, 1912-1915; 2. Commercial Print, 1915-1920; 3. OAC Directory, 1921-1927; 4. Student Directory, 1927-1940; 5. Fussers' Guide, 1943-1996; and 6. Campus Directory, 1997-2014.
The Campus Directories for Oregon State University provide information about students and employees of Oregon State over more than a century from the 1910s to 2010s. These directories were published by students and, while they include directory information for Oregon State employees, were primarily intended for students.
The format of the directories and the student groups responsible for publication changed with time, but the core elements in all directories are lists of students with addresses and phone numbers, faculty and staff directories, and local advertisements. The first directories were published by Oregon Agricultural College students in pharmacy and commerce and included articles about business, marketing, and pharmacy practice. From the 1910s through the 1940s, the student directory was published multiple (2-4) times per academic year; since 1949, the directory has been published annually (in the fall) for each academic year. For more than 50 years – from 1943 to 1996 – the directory was known as the Fussers’ Guide. “Fussing” was a slang term at Oregon State for dating; the title Fussers’ Guide referred to the use of the directory as a way for students to make social connections with one another.
In addition to the core directory information for students and employees, the directories have included lists of student organizations, living groups, administrators, and academic units; calendars of university events; and a campus map. In the last several years of publication, the directory included a section for Oregon State University retirees with contact information.
Prior to the early 2000s, a separate staff directory was published at Oregon State. When that publication ceased, the Campus Directory was the sole directory published at Oregon State and served for both students and employees. The Campus Directory ceased publication in 2014 with the directory for the 2014/2015 academic year.
Some of the items in this collection are available online in Oregon Digital.

The contents of the directory changes during this time period; there are fewer articles and by the mid-1920s no articles; directories include a registration report with the number of students enrolled at OAC and associated demographic data, a college calendar with key university events, and a list of oganizations, fraternities, and sororities. The directory portion includes names, addresses, and phone numbers as well as office locations for faculty. A list of advertisers is included and advertisements from local businesses are printed throughout the directory. One issue in this series is available online.

Series 5
Fussers' Guide
1943-1996
Series 5 is comprised of issues of the Fussers' Guide which was published twice per year (in fall and winter) through the 1940s and then annually in the fall beginning with the 1949/1950 academic year. This series includes a complete run of the annual directory for the academic years 1965/1966 through 1996/1997. The series does not include directories for the 1959/1960, 1960/1961, 1961/1962, and 1964/1965 academic years. During this period, the directory continued to include information about Oregon State events and organizations, lists of students and employees, and advertising. Beginning in the 1960s, advertising was printed on yellow pages in a separate section of the publication. The Fussers' Guide was published by the local chapters of Sigma Delta Chi (men's journalism professional fraternity), Theta Sigma Phi (women's journalism professional fraternity), and Alpha Delta Sigma (advertising fraternity) beginning in the 1940s. Responsibility for publication shifted to Student Publications in 1983. "Fussing" was a slang term at Oregon State for dating; the title Fussers' Guide referred to the use of the directory as a way for students to make social connections with one another.
