The Oregon State Archives and the Oregon State University
          Archives are pleased to announce the availability of a new
          historical photographic exhibit on the Internet.  The
          exhibit, "Fighters on the Farm Front," commemorates the 50th
          anniversary of Oregon's Emergency Farm Labor Service,
          1943-1947.  The exhibit focuses on the diverse population
          that contributed to the war effort by harvesting food and
          fiber for home and the fighting forces overseas during the
          most desperate days of World War II and the unstable years
          immediately following allied victory.  The exhibit is
          dedicated to the soldiers, prisoners of war, foreign born
          migrant farm workers, senior citizens, women, and youth
          who labored in Oregon's fields and orchards for victory.
 
          The electronic version was developed by the Oregon State
          University Archives and the Oregon State Archives.  This
          exhibit is a somewhat expanded version of an exhibit
          currently touring Oregon.  The original traveling exhibit
          was designed and fabricated in the spring of 1993 by the
          University Archives with assistance and support from the
          University's Office of Agricultural Communications and the
          Oregon Council for the Humanities.  The electronic version
          contains over 70 images.  The exhibit images are from the
          University Archives collections, but are resident on the
          World Wide Web (WWW) host server maintained by the Oregon
          State Archives in Salem, Oregon.
 
          The exhibit may be viewed if you have Mosaic client software
          installed on your Internet connected computer.  It is
          available through the homepage of the Oregon State Archives
          WWW host server or can be accessed bb utilizing the
          sensitized map of the continental United States found under
          the WWW server homepage maintained by the National Center
          for Super-Computing Applications.  The exhibit can also be
          reached by using the Mosaic Browse and opening
          "http://159.121.28.251" (do not type the quotation marks).
 
          The staff of the University Archives welcomes your
          observations, suggestions, criticisms, and recommendations.
