000003270 520__ $$aKaren Peterson, M.A., was the first archivist of OHSU Historical Collections & Archives, who began working as an intern at OHSU during her graduate studies. She was hired permanently as the staff archivist in 2002, and wrote many of policies that informed HC&A operations in its earliest days. Peterson describes her family background; growing up in the St. Johns neighborhood of Portland, Oregon; her two marriages (including one to a Cuban santero), and motherhood. She describes her personal experiences with disease over her lifetime, including contracting polio as a child and diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer in 2003. She also recounts her experiences in education, including traveling to Mexico for a study abroad program, earning a B.A. in history at Portland State University, and completing her M.A. in folklore and mythology at the University of California, Los Angeles. She concludes the interview by sharing her vision for the future of HC&A.

000003270 901__ $$aOral histories are considered historical materials. They are the personal recollections and opinions of the individuals involved and, therefore, may contain offensive language, ideas or negative stereotypes reflecting the culture or language of a person, period or place. Oral histories should not serve as the sole source of information about an institution or particular historical events. These narratives should in no way be interpreted as the official history of Oregon Health & Science University, nor do they necessarily represent the views of the institution.
