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.

    This is JAPAN, wonderful & beautiful.
  • chingwa said:
    Just FYI, this photo is mistakenly flipped horizontally, probably occurred as the lantern slide was scanned backwards. This is the old village of Omiya, which was long ago incorporated into the modern city of Fujinomiya. This was a very famous spot for early photographers in Japan!

Post Office

    Unfortunately, I don't think this post office exists any more.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    You can see it marked on the Ordnance Survey 25" map from 1907. A modern office block occupies the site now.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Streetview today is modern offices, but if you swing it 180, the other side of the street is still Georgian.
