The Victor C. West Collection Historical Photographs

The Coos Art Museum also houses the Victor C. West Collection, a trove of historical photographs of Oregon's Coast. Many depict maritime subjects, but there are also images of the timber industry, early transportation and other areas of historical interest. Photographs from the Victor C. West Collection have been displayed in conjunction with the Museum's Maritime Art Exhibit and on other occasions.
