[Landis, Larry]

Colleagues,
Here is a news item for your listserv:
The remarkable story of Roger Hayward's life and work is the subject of the OSU Libraries' Special Collections & Archives Research Center's newest web release, Roger Hayward: Renaissance Man<http://osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/specialcollections/omeka/exhibits/show/hayward>. Hayward (1899-1979) is best remembered as a scientific illustrator of great influence, who collaborated for many years with both Linus Pauling and Scientific American magazine.  Roger Hayward: Renaissance Man<http://osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/specialcollections/omeka/exhibits/show/hayward> recounts Hayward's story through a detailed narrative and more than 450 illustrations. Included among them are two<http://osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/specialcollections/omeka/exhibits/show/hayward/pastels/pastels> galleries<http://osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/specialcollections/omeka/exhibits/show/hayward/pastels/unpublished> of original pastel drawings created by Hayward for use in 1964's The Architecture of Molecules, co-authored with Linus Pauling.  Most of the pastels presented on the website were not used in the book and are now freely available for the first time.
Roger Hayward: Renaissance Man<http://osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/specialcollections/omeka/exhibits/show/hayward> is the seventh website created by the Special Collections & Archives Research Center using the Omeka<http://omeka.org/> web publishing platform. The exhibit relies heavily upon materials held in the Roger Hayward Papers<http://osulibrary.orst.edu/specialcollections/coll/hayward/index.html>, one of the Center's many history of science collections. The site is available at http://osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/specialcollections/omeka/exhibits/show/hayward.
