The Southern Oregon Digital Archives (SODA) was funded originally
by a grant from the Institute of Museum
and Library Services (IMLS).
From July of 2001 through December of 2004, IMLS funding enabled Hannon
Library to create a digital library of over 1,500 documents in two collections,
the Bioregion Collection and First Nations Collection. The digitized
books, documents, and articles were drawn from Hannon Library’s
rich collections of federal, state, and county publications, other library
materials, and from outreach to regional agencies. Public access to
the SODA database began in October 2002

Portland State University's Digital Repository is a system that brings together and preserves the University's research, unique resources, and other scholarly output, with the goal to provide persistent, usually open access to that work.

Learning objects, presentations, dissertations, and other works not published elsewhere can also be published in the Repository.
