P 066 Corvallis Gazette-Times. Corvallis Gazette-Times Photographs 1957-1965 1957-1960 0.15 cubic foot, including 195 photographs 1 box The Corvallis Gazette-Times Photographs consist of images documenting activities and events held by student groups and other organizations affiliated with Oregon State University and the City of Corvallis during the 1950s-1960s. Materials in English. Historical Note:

The Corvallis Gazette-Times is a result of numerous mergers. It began as the Corvallis Gazette (1862) and consolidated with the Oregon Union in 1899. The paper’s new name was the Union Gazette and eventually, the Corvallis Gazette. In 1909 the Corvallis Gazette merged with the Corvallis Times, which was formed in 1893 by the merger of the Corvallis Leader and the Corvallis Times— it kept the latter name.

From 1915 to 1950, Claude E. Ingalls was the voice of the Corvallis Gazette-Times. He was a publisher and editor, producer of political rhetoric, and an individual devoted to Oregon State College and the community. Upon his retirement, his son, Robert C. Ingalls, became the new publisher.

In 1969, the Gazette-Times was sold to Lee Enterprises, Inc. which remains the current owner and operator of the newspaper.

The Corvallis Gazette-Times Photographs consist of images (primarily film negatives) documenting activities and events that took place in the late 1950s to mid 1960s on and around the Oregon State College (OSC) campus. Many of the images were published in the newspaper, either in the society section or accompanying feature stories.

Many of the depicted events were held by organizations and groups affiliated with OSC or the City of Corvallis. Some organizations represented in this collection include the College of Home Economics, OSC Corvallis Symphony Orchestra and Symphony Society, OSC Cosigners Club, Masque and Dagger (a University drama club), OSC Civic Music Association, the College Folk Club, and local 4-H clubs. Members and alumnae of Delta Zeta, Alpha Xi Delta, Alpha Sigma Phi, and Euterpe are pictured as well as women participating in rush week activities. Also depicted within the collection are parties for faculty and students, reunions, recreational activities, plays, and other events.

Most of the photographs were taken by Gazette-Times photographers; however, the collection includes some submitted photographs. The film negatives are primarily 4x5 format; some 120 format and a few 35 mm negatives are also included. All of the negatives and prints are black-and-white. Original descriptive cards and negative envelopes are available with the negatives; many of these indicate the publication date for the associated photograph.

Collection is open for research.

The Corvallis Gazette-Times Photographs are arranged in 2 series: I. Film Negatives, 1957-1965 and II. Photographic Prints, circa 1960 - 1965.
