Presentation: "The Bill Bowerman Papers and Sports History at Oregon: Letters, Films, Photos, and Shoe Tread" with Heather Briston - Corrigan-Solari Historian and Archivist, University of Oregon
Knight Library Browsing Room, University of Oregon
Bill Bowerman is a legendary figure with many well-known achievements. However many people are just learning about the diverse nature of his ideas and activities. The Bowerman papers are the largest collection of publicly accessible Bowerman materials used in both the book Bowerman and the Men of Oregon and the documentary Oregon Experience: Bill Bowerman. Along with other collections, the Bowerman papers help to tell the larger history of track and field and sports at the University of Oregon. Most of all the collection is the papers of a real person, whose papers represent the diversity of that life.
