ORWW Osbornes Project: Douglas County

West View, Abbott Butte Lookout, Douglas County (Sarlin & Burchall, July 24, 1933).

The ORWW "Osbornes Project" was started in 2006 as a collaboration by (at that time) Oregon State University College of Forestry undergraduate student, Judd Lehman, and ORWW Program Manager, Bob Zybach. The basic idea was to revisit each of the fire lookout towers in Oregon from which an Osborne panoramic photo sequence had been taken in the 1930s (Arnst 1985), and then take additional panoramic photos in order to begin building a detailed Repeat Photography inventory (Zybach and Lapham 2004). The resulting spatial and temporal sequences are then permanently displayed on an ORWW website in order for others -- particularly students, teachers, researchers, and resource managers with an interest in Oregon history and resources -- to reference.

NOTE (December 15, 2010): There has been some difficulty with QTVR panoramic files made for this project, in that some browsers or platforms are importing grainy, undersized files that cannot be expanded to fit the screen. This has not been a problem in the past, and we are working to fix the problem at this time.
