History for dogs?

You’ve sat in history class and heard facts and dates about the people who lived before you. Have you ever wondered if there is a canine equivalent? There actually is! It’s called the Oregon State University (OSU) Canine Research Collection and is located in Corvallis, Oregon in the Valley Library.

It started in 2000 with the donation of a personal collection of rare and antique dog books. The collection is now expanding as more dog fanciers donate their collections of books, magazines, pedigrees, photos, correspondence, medallions, and more.

If you have items you’d like to donate, or want to learn more, visit the Oregon State University site or contact them.
