About the OSU Special Collections & Archives Research Center in the Commons We've been here since February 14th, 2009 and we could not be happier to be part of the Flickr Commons! OSU SCARC on Flickr? For nearly a hundred and fifty years, Oregon State University has been guided by a three-fold mission of research, teaching, and serving the our communities. We like to think broadly when we think of the word “community”-- our neighbors are local, national, and international-- and our position as one of only two American universities to hold the Land Grant, Sea Grant, Space, and Sun Grant designation allows us to think up, down, and all around. We are also a Carnegie Doctoral/Research-Extensive university, and nationally known for our top tier programs in Engineering, Environmental Sciences, Forestry, and Pharmacy, which means that the students and faculty at OSU do a lot of research and writing. To learn more, please visit the “OSU SCARC on Flickr” page.

    Fir Tex was a soft fibrous material that was popular in the 40's & 50's to cover walls in some houses. It was pretty much replaced by sheet rock in the 50's. It was about 3/4 of an inch thick and soft and not very durable. No fun to work with.

    Was there asbestos in Fir Tex?
