Call for Articles on the Stevens Treaties

The Oregon Historical Quarterly is interested in receiving manuscripts and proposals for a special issue on the Stevens-Palmer Treaties, to be published in the fall of 2005 in commemoration of the sesquicentennial. The journal is especially interested in articles (25 pages plus documentation) or essays (15 pages) that take an interpretive, thematic approach to the large issues and questions that surround the treaties — pre-treaty, at the time of the signing, and today. Manuscripts on the legal aspects of the treaties, the background to and the consequences of the treaties, tribal sovereignty, the historical development of the questions surrounding the treaties, and natural resource issues will be considered, along with considerations of language, oral tradition, and examinations of the treaties as primary and literary documents. Please send queries, proposals, and manuscripts by May 1, 2004, to: Marianne Keddington-Lang, Editor, Oregon Historical Quarterly, 1200 S.W. Park Avenue, Portland, OR 97205; e-mail, mariannk@ohs.org.

New Collections at the OHS Research Library

Two newly processed collections are available to Research Library patrons.
John Ainsworth Mills Family papers, 1799–2002 (bulk 1844–1965)
The papers of the family of John Ainsworth (Jack) Mills of Oregon include photographic materials, manuscripts, biographical and genealogical materials, and financial records. Materials relate to the Mills and Low families of New York City and Long Island and the Lewis, Couch, and Ainsworth families of Portland, Oregon. Most photographic materials date from the mid- to late nineteenth century and include daguerreo-types, cartes-de-visites, and cabinet photographs, primarily of the Low family. Also included are two documents relating to the Mills family's slaves, dated 1799 and 1816; documents relating to John Commingers Ainsworth, a business leader in nineteenth-century Portland; and appointment diaries of Abbot Low Mills, Jr., as a governor of the Federal Reserve Board, 1952–1965.
Pietro Belluschi Collection
The collection is a comprehensive representation of the work of Pietro Belluschi (1899–1994), an internationally famous American regionalist and modernist architect whose career spanned more than sixty-five years. The collection consists of approximately 23,300 architectural drawings (1931–1983), including details, elevations, perspectives, plans, sections, sketches, tracings, blueprints, and photostats relating to Belluschi's projects. Notable projects include the Portland Art Museum (Portland, Ore.), Equitable Savings and Loan Association Building (Portland), First Presbyterian Church (Cottage Grove, Ore.), Immanuel Lutheran Church (Silverton, Ore.), and St. Mary's Cathedral (San Francisco, Calif.). The collection also contains 360 photographs and 14 works of art (1927–1982), principally related to Belluschi's early career in Portland, Oregon, and during his tenure as a dean at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Records (1947–1983), including correspondence, notes, and specifications, are primarily connected to work after Belluschi's retirement from MIT.
Collection processing was completed as part of OHS's Educational Technology Initiative and the Northwest Archival Processing Initiative, funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission. Digital access to the collection guide was made possible through the Northwest Digital Archives, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
