Extension programs are a common feature of many state universities, and they often provide support to residents in areas such as agriculture, community development, and planning. In preparation for its centennial in 2011, the Oregon State University Extension Service interviewed several of its emeritus faculty in order to preserve the history of the Service from WWII to the late 1990s. This website contains interviews, transcripts, and photographs from 10 former faculty members, including Roberta Frasier Anderson, who taught child development and other subjects at OSU from 1959 to 1974. The other interviewees cover topics that include home economics, 4-H activities, administration history, and communications. Visitors can also click on the "More Oral History Collections" link to find out more about other OSU collections.
