[Libs-Or] The Oregon Encyclopedia is Coming to the Newberg Public Library

[pdx05508 at pdx.edu]

Greetings from The Oregon Encyclopedia (The OE):

The Oregon Encyclopedia is an on-line authoritative resource of Oregon  
history and culture. On Thursday, April 22, 2010 from 5:30 p.m. to  
8:00 p.m. we are hosting a meeting with the Newberg Public Library to  
gather more Yamhill County history topics to add to the Encyclopedia.  
The meeting is free and open to the public and refreshments will be  
served.

Presentations by the Newberg Public Library and the Yamhill County  
Historical Society will inform residents of the historical resources  
available at their institutions that support the research and writing  
of local history.

Barbara Mahoney, historian and OE Editorial Board member, will lead a  
discussion on how to write an Oregon Encyclopedia entry and will work  
with participants to identify local topics that should be included in  
the OE.

Please see the attached press release and flier for more details about  
this partnership.

The meeting is made possible by a grant from the Institute of Museum  
and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act,  
administered by the Oregon State Library.

For more information please contact pdx05508 at pdx.edu
