The Aubrey Watzek Library is a library on the Lewis & Clark College campus, in Portland, Oregon.

History

The building was designed by Paul Thiry and completed in 1967.[1] The library doubled in size during renovations completed in the mid 1990s.[2][3]

In 2016, a copy of the 1599 Geneva Bible was rediscovered in the library's basement.[4]

Special collections

Since 2001, the library has housed the literature of the Lewis and Clark Expedition collection in a special collections facility. The William Stafford Archive was established in the special collections in 2008.[2]
