Royal G. Jackson papers, ca. 1905 - 1992 (bulk ca. 1930 - 1992).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/664275369

The Royal G. Jackson Papers consist of materials created or assembled by Jackson in the course of his research on forest history and nature-based tourism. The collection includes oral history sound recordings and transcripts; manuscripts, publications, and informational materials assembled by Jackson; and photographs. The oral history sound recordings consist of 162 audiocassetes. The majority (105) are recordings of 58 interviews conducted in Costa Rica in 1992 of individuals involved in the environmental movement and nature-based ecotourism in Costa Rica. A list of all interviewees, with a brief description of the topics addressed in each interview, as well as transcripts for 11 interviews are part of the collection. Recordings of interviews with College of Forestry faculty and students and Civilian Conservation Corps members stationed at Camp Arboretum are also included. These interviews were conducted in 1978-1980. The collection includes transcripts and project files for these interviews as well as other interviews, for which sound recordings are not included. The third component of the oral history sound recordings are 41 audiocassettes of interviews conducted in 1988-1989 of Bend and Redmond, Oregon, residents regarding the diversification of the resource-based economy of Deschutes County through the development of nature-based tourism. No paper records for these interviews are part of this collection. The bulk of the paper records consist of informational and reference materials, maps, manuscripts, and publications pertaining to McDonald Forest; the College of Forestry; the Civilian Conservation Corps, especially Camp Arboretum; Peavy Arboretum; and forest history, especially in western Oregon. Of special note are two 1980 publications on the McDonald-Dunn Forests -- one pertaining to ethnography, written by Sandy Snyder, and the other on human use and occupation, written by Royal Jackson. A final report for the Custer Battlefield National Monument Oral History Program which included interviews of Northern Cheyenne descendants about the Battle of the Bighorn is also part of the collection. The collection includes an extensive photographic component, primarily of images assembled by Jackson in the course of his research. Many of the images were part of the School of Forestry's photographic collections at one point and some of these were taken or assembled originally for use in the forestry student publication, the Annual Cruise. The photographs include images of forestry students, faculty, and notable alumni; field trips and work crews; Fernhopper Banquets and special events; and images of Peavy Arboretum and McDonald Forest. Several images of George Peavy, T.J. Starker, and Paul Dunn are part of the collection. The collection includes images of the CCC Camp Arboretum building and facilities, and the remnants of those structures as of the early 1980s, and an album documenting the activities of the CCC Camp Newport on the Oregon coast. Photographs of landscapes in central and eastern Oregon from the early 20th century as well as the 1970s or 1980s are included and may have been assembled as part of a study to document changing landscapes or land uses. Images assembled by Jackson for a research project on the Winema National Forest include photographs of Native Americans and the Klamath Agency. The bulk of the photographs in the collection are b/w prints; however, color prints, b/w negatives, and color slides are also included.

Basque sheepherders immigrated from northern Spain and southwestern France to southeastern Oregon, Idaho, and Nevada from the 1890s until the early 1920s. They worked as itinerant herders on the mountain ranges of Harney County until the 1930s and often spent the winters in Basque boarding houses or hotels, such as the Star Hotel in Burns.
