The creation of associate archivist and project manager positions, the addition of five student workers, and the retention of three key staff to increase the capacity of the Lewis and Clark College Special Collections library to create exhibits, process collections, and develop a community archive. 

The project rebuilds and reinvigorates the Special Collections program of Watzek Library, a key resource for the humanities at Lewis & Clark College and the Portland, Oregon region. We will re-engage with students and community members through teaching and exhibits, process key collections to make them widely accessible and continue developing Vietnamese Portland, a community archive that addresses a neglected part of our city's complex history.
