Portland Reporter photographs collection [graphic], 1960-1964.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/81335993

This collection is the photograph morgue of the Portland Reporter, a newspaper published from 1960-1964 by unions that struck the two primary Portland, Or. newspapers, the Oregon Journal and the Oregonian. Subjects include images of the important people and events on local, national, and international scenes, including Portland and Oregon politics; the tsunami that hit the Oregon coast in 1964; the John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson years; John F. Kennedy's assassination; the space race; the Vietnam War; and the Cold War, among many other subjects. Other images document daily life and incidents in Portland and surrounding communities. The local materials were produced primarily by Portland Reporter staff photographers, and some images were obtained from other local sources. National and international images are primarily from the Associated Press wire service. The collection also includes a small quantity of negatives, mostly from non-staff photographers, and some art work and printed materials, most notably a series of Bill Mauldin syndicated cartoons.

49.37 cubic feet (127 boxes, 1 oversize box and 21 oversize folders).
