Ashland, an Oregon oasis an Oregon documentary by Janelle Davidson, Bert Webber

Authored by Janelle Davidson and Bert Webber, Ashland, an Oregon Oasis: An Oregon Documentary chronicles the development of the southern Oregon town from a pioneer milling settlement into a vibrant cultural haven renowned for its natural mineral springs and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. The book weaves together historical photographs, local archives, and narrative documents to trace how the community leveraged its unique natural geography and artistic ambitions to survive economic shifts. Through these collected records, the text captures the deliberate transformation of a remote Rogue Valley stopover into a thriving destination for travelers and intellectuals alike. A keen insight drawn from the work is how intentional cultural institutions can insulate a regional economy from resource dependency; by pivoting from local timber and agriculture toward world-class theater and holistic tourism, Ashland demonstrated that remote communities can engineer their own prosperity by transforming local geographic assets into an internationally recognized cultural brand.

SODA: Southern Oregon Digital Archives

The Southern Oregon Digital Archives (SODA) was funded originally by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). From July of 2001 through December of 2004, IMLS funding enabled Hannon Library to create a digital library of over 1,500 documents in two text collections, the Bioregion Collection and First Nations Collection, using the PTFS platform called ArchivalWare (currently, Knowvation). The digitized books, documents, and articles were drawn from Hannon Library’s rich collections of federal, state, and county publications, other library materials, and from outreach to regional agencies. Public access to the SODA database began in October 2002.
