Willie and Truman Teeter Collection
Scope and Contents
This collection consists of photographs, awards, yearbooks, publications and memorabilia that Wille and Truman Teeter collected. Most of the material is related to their connections to Pacific University, such as awards that Willie Teeter won for her service as a staff member. Several issues of "The Optimist," the yearbook of Forest Grove High School from their daughter's time there, are also present.
Note: Cookbooks that belonged to Willie Teeter are cataloged separately, under MS.100. Yearbooks and runs of Pacific University publications donated by the Teeters were added to existing runs of the same publications in the Archives. Additional books from the Teeter Family were donated to the Pacific University Library for its general circulating collection.
