Project Description:
|
The College (LCC) will build Bicentennial Hall as a principal destination point for scholars, lecture and special event attendees, and Portland residents. During and after the bicentennial, it will host public programs and exhibits based on the world's largest collection of Lewis & Clark-related materials. The Hall will serve generations of students and faculty, the Portland community, and campus visitors engaged in pursuits of "the life of the mind". The College's collections include every edition of every expedition journal, maps identical to those carried by the party, ephemera, fine press editions, and related holdings. Exhibits and special programming will cover topics such as cartography, Native Peoples of the Oregon Country, Voyages of Enlightenment to the North Pacific Coast, and Literature of the Expedition. |
