A handwritten manuscript from Stanley Jewett to William L. Finley. Jewett writes about a remarkable natural history museum on the Oregon coast. The author raves about the quality of the collection, spending most of the letter praising the preservation of rare species in form of adult specimens and eggs. Jewett ends the letter with advocating a move of the museum to Portland in order for nature teachers to be able to use it as a resource in education.

Manuscripts discussing the Braly Museum of Natural History in Depoe Bay, a proposed Portland natural history museum, and birds in Arizona.

This photograph depicts a memorial marker in Depot Bay for Roy Bower and Jack Chambers. The marker is a rectangular stone plinth erected on a cliff overlooking the ocean. It has two brass plaques which are illegible in the photograph, but which read, "In Memoriam / From this harbor - in storm - departed - Roy Bower and Jack Chambers fishermen of the trolling fleet October 4, A.D. 1936 on a mission of rescue." and, "It is not true. Life is not slain by death. The vast, immortal sea shall have her own, shall garner to her this expiring breath, shall reap where she has sown." Seaweed is draped over the top of the marker and there are fresh flowers laid at the base.
