Included in the collection information below is a link to each organization's record in the OCLC WorldCat Registry.

- Percent for Art — The Percent for Art Statewide Digital Collection and Database is a grant-funded project in collaboration with the Oregon Arts Commission.

- Travel Journal and Album of Collected Papers of William Tennent III, 1740-1777 — This online collection contains William Tennent's Travel Journal and Album. The journal covers Tennent's trek though the South Carolina back-country, at times in the company of William Henry Drayton and Rev. Oliver Hart in an effort to persuade Loyalist Tories to join the Patriot cause. The album contains papers documenting Tennent's life as a Presbyterian minister in the Colonies of New Jersey and Connecticut, the courtship of his wife despite her mother's objections and his 1772 arrival in Charleston, S.C., to serve the Independent or Congregational Church, among other topics. (University of South Carolina-Thomas Cooper Library WorldCat records)
