Columbia Slough Super Sleuths Capstones Web Pages
As part of their required coursework all Portland State University (PSU) students complete a "Capstone" course. Capstones culminate the interdisciplinary University Studies program, bringing PSU students together with community partners to accomplish real life projects. Two Capstones courses worked with the Center for Columbia River History to research and collect additional materials for the Columbia Slough Web site. The Winter 2000 course researched and created a section for the Columbia Slough Web site. The Summer 2000 course collected 12 oral histories focused on "Life on the Columbia Slough," and created a Web section. In January 2000 the Columbia Slough Super Sleuths, under the guidance of PSU graduate student Dannette Rowe, learned to do historical research, located primary documents, and created web pages for the Columbia Slough Web Site on the following topics:

During
Summer 2000, PSU capstones students learned oral history and research
methods, interviewed people who lived or worked along the Columbia
Slough, and used these oral histories to create Web pages on the
Columbia Slough Web Site.
