The AuCoin family poses with House Speaker Carl Albert at the U.S. House swearing-in day. Photograph by A. Dev O'Neill, the official photographer for the U.S. House of Representatives 1956-1978. In typed notes about the image, Les AuCoin writes: "My family on swearing-in day at the U.S. Capitol, 1975. Sue and I were only 15 years out Redmond Union High School when I took the congressional oath for the first time at the U.S. Capitol. We enrolled Stacy and Kelly at John Eaton Grade School in northwest Washington's Cleveland Park neighborhood. Kelly, a second grader, was almost as tall as Speaker Carl Albert." This is one of a collection of digitized objects from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives. The original photo remains with the AuCoin family.
Representative Les AuCoin poses with the current and former university presidents and with members of his staff who are alumni of Pacific University. In typed notes about the image, AuCoin writes: "Pacific University reunion in my congressional office. From the left, alumnus Bob Crane, my administrative assistant, Dr. Miller A. F. Richie, former president of the university who hired me as public information director at the school, myself, Dr. Robert Duvall, university president at the time, and Dan James, alumnus and later a member of my staff, and still later a member of Pacific's board of trustees." Based on the people present, the photo was probably taken between 1987 and 1989.

A group portrait of mostly Tlingit boys from Alaska who were enrolled at the Forest Grove Indian School in 1881 or 2. The photograph was taken by an employee of the I.G. Davidson Studio of Portland, outdoors on the school campus. The Davidson studio took several other group portraits of students on the same day. Copies of the photographs were sold as albumen print cabinet cards to the public, with a portion of the proceeds going to the school coffers. This arrangement was made as an agreement between the studio and the school's first superintendent, Captain M.C. Wilkinson. The caption reads: "Davidson Photo. No. 37. Indian Training School, Forest Grove, Oregon. Group of Alaska Boys. Capt. M. C. WIlkinson, U.S.A., in charge."
The boys wear their everyday school clothes and caps from the school's military-style uniforms. Most of them have tucked small tokens into their button holes: oak leaves and wildflowers. Students in this image probably include those listed in the school roster as having come from Alaska by 1881: William Lear, George Brown, Frank Shattuck, Samuel Goldstein, Walter Burwell, Arthur Jackson, Harry Kadeshan, Charles Lott, Philip Jones, George Blake, and William Lewis. Of these, William Lear and Frank Shattuck appear to have actually been Samish and Coast Salish from northern Washington; the others were Tlingit of Chilkat, Sitka and Stikine. Based on another confirmed photograph, the second boy from the left in the bottom row is probably Walter Burwell. A swing can be seen hanging from the trees in the background, possibly identifying the location as the school's play area, which was just west of the campus.
