  • Valley Library Special Collections 

    • The Special Collections at Oregon State University's Valley Library holds many of the possessions of Corvallis legend, Linus Pauling, including his two Nobel Prizes.  If you can't get over there, you can check out what they have to offer online.  I encourage you to look through the "Linus Pauling Research Notebooks."  There is a link on the right side if you scroll down a little bit.  They are the scanned copies of Pauling's own research notebooks and have many interesting things in them.
