This is what it looked like to use a computer in 1979!
Our electronic records date back even further than that - to 1971! Learn about our #DigiPres framework to protect, preserve, and share the records in our care.

Intern report: processing the Pete Dunlop collection
Emporia State University grad student Alyssa Collins finished up her work on the Pete Dunlop Collection last week. We had a great plan for her to dig in to the physical collections during her 4 month practicum with us, but obviously that all changed 8 weeks ago when we all came home. I am delighted that we were able to find meaningful electronic collections for her to work on!
This is also a cool collection because it includes both Dunlop’s research files for the book, but also a crawl of his blog.
Pete Dunlop Collection, 1903-2010
Pete Dunlop wrote the book Portland Beer: Crafting the Road to Beervana and writes the blog Beervana Buzz, which focuses on craft beers in Oregon. He has donated his collection of research papers that he used to help him write his book, which focuses on history and tries to educate the novice on Oregon brewing, whereas his blog is about events, life, and beer. It is interesting to read his book and then read his blog. You can see how times are different and how his opinion has evolved as the industry changed. It is awesome that we got an Internet Archive web-crawl done on his blog because it really captures an opinion of the beer industry. Recently, with Covid-19 his blog has not been as active as they once were. He does express concern over the changes happening to the craft brew industry and how flooded the market is.
As another perspective, I do think it is interesting that the beer industry is changing. We are seeing more variety of drinks, such as seltzers (which Dunlop has a strong opinion about in his blog if you wish to read), and a flooding of different styles of beers. Another concern he has is how craft breweries are going to survive after this is over.
In the past breweries have come and gone. Some have merged with larger corporations and some have sold off and been closed by others. It is a changing environment in Oregon when it comes to beer. Even now, as Covid-19 is shutting down so many businesses Oregon’s craft breweries are striving to be essential by adapting to demand. Some craft breweries are still brewing to attract attention during this time, such as Old Town Brewing creating a new IPA that they can and deliver directly to Portlanders.
Working on this project was interesting because I really got to see how Portland, Oregon has changed over time when it comes to beer. It really made me pay more attention to the craft brewery industry in Oregon, especially in recent events. I am now seeing how the industry is all over Oregon, there are breweries in even small communities on the Oregon coast! It is amazing to see how much variety we have in this state. We are rich with micro brews.
Below is a series of photos of the back-end of things. Right now, due to everything, I am working with digital collections in a shared file on Box. This has added a new spin on things as we try to continue to process collections while staying safe.
In this photo you see the series broken down into four areas. There are five series total, but since the fifth series is the blog it isn’t included in Box.
Upon clicking on Series 3 this is how the files are broken down. Since this is a collection of newspaper articles that Dunlop used for his research they are broken down by dates.
When you open one of the files you get the collection of newspaper articles. I don’t know about those of you reading this but I love old newspapers. There is something that is fascinating with how they advertised and what they focused on at the time. People talk about sensational journalism now but when you read some of the stories in older newspapers you can’t help but giggle over what some of the articles focused on.
This is an unpublished photo that Dunlop took to show the changes of the Burnside St. near the Weinhard’s Brewery. The top image is from 1956 during the 100th anniversary. The bottom photo was taken by Dunlop in 2013. In just 57 years the street looks different in many ways. It is a testament to how much Portland is changing every year. It is a growing city that changes and adapts with the times, or tries to do its best considering how quickly it has grown. It makes sense that Dunlop would focus his book on the Portland area, with its growing craft breweries and just a changing city landscape. His blog really shows how the city and beer has changed in the short amount of time since his book was published. Pete Dunlop’s papers are now available for you to view and they are very interesting. Also check out his blog!
The original idea behind creating Facebook was to allow people to share creative ideas, funny pictures, thoughtful recommendations and, in the process, befriend people. But, many of us wrongly (or rightly) treat this medium as a diary, to write thereon personal posts, sometimes with great details. Not bad, if the prosaic details of posts are archived for future anthropologists to analyse the Facebook stories and draw vivid pictures of generations. Leashed or unleashed, Facebook posts, like all other electronic records, with megatons of data have come to stay for the next hundreds of decades. Future armies of scientists living on this planet or traveling from distant outer spaces will not have to sweat much to mine all these electronic data to reproduce tales of our planet. They would be spared of the painstaking labour the archeologists and hieroglyphists have undergone to decipher the inscriptions engraved millennials ago on stones and clay tablets.

Oh, the uniformity! By Ella Morton February 16, 2017
Having seen what happened in a previous library with handwritten notecards from the 1970s when they didn’t use this font? Bless Dewey and his pedantic, kinda-misogynistic heart for getting a library group to standardize a font.
Now you can pry my electronic catalog and records out of my cold dead hands. Ain’t nobody got time for handwriting cards anymore.

This improves now no longer simply the operational waft of the health facility however greater importantly the patient experience. Even after leaving the hospital, patient follow-ups, appointments, and extra facts may be facilitated through their cell phone.
Cellma’s Document Management and Telemedicine modules assist in facilitating digitized hospital procedures that enhance the affected person's adventure mainly given the modern COVID-19 conditions.
