The Josephy Library is based on the books, journals, manuscripts, and artifacts from Alvin Josephy home libraries in Greenwich, Connecticut and Joseph, Oregon, and grows with donations and purchases. It honors Alvin Josephy\u2019s work as a historian of and advocate for American Indians, and Alvin and Betty Josephy\u2019s commitment to literature, history, the arts, the West, and to people of all colors and backgrounds who have lived in and loved the West.<\/p>\n

The collection aims to be comprehensive with Josephy\u2019s own writings and with material relating to Nez Perce and Columbia Plateau Indian and Northeast Oregon history, geography, and culture. It seeks to relate that work to a broad understanding of the West, and with books of a more general collection of Western and Indian history.<\/p>\n

For the entire collection, go to SAGE below, which does not include books by Alvin Josephy Jr.<\/p>\n

Featured below are our digital databases and lending literature collections that we store at our Library.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>
