From Our Collections

Brushing Up
This quaint book, designed for elementary schools, introduces students to basic brush strokes by showing how to fill a brush with color and apply it to paper. In "Brushwork: Elementary Brush-Forms" (1903), six colors are used for the lessons, with two required for each exercise. This approach provides students—and any aspiring painters—with opportunities to experiment with pigments and achieve desired hues.

Ford the River
The Oregon Trail remains a beloved classic in our software collection. In this nostalgic game, you take on the role of the leader of a wagon train, tasked with journeying along the Oregon Trail from Independence, Missouri, to Willamette Valley, Oregon. The game combines strategy and luck, making it enjoyable for players of all ages, whether they are newcomers or veterans.
