31 Ways to Celebrate Historic Preservation Month
Preservation Month began as National Preservation Week in 1973. In 2005, the National Trust extended the celebration to the entire month of May and declared it Preservation Month to provide an even greater opportunity to celebrate the diverse and unique heritage of our country's cities and states. This year, the National Trust is focusing Preservation Month on telling the full American story, offering you a wide variety of ways to discover and save places that showcase the depth and diversity of our nation's history. The 31 ways to celebrate Historic Preservation Month was kicked off with a call to share a place that helps tell a little-known or underrepresented piece of the American story. It could be a place tied to local, national, or even your own family history. NTHP will be highlighting a selection of your places in the coming months, so be sure to use #TellTheFullStory and tag @SavingPlaces on Twitter and Instagram before May 31!#TellTheFullStory on Social Media.

Free On-line Resources
Tracy Schwartz, Chair, Salem Historic Landmark Commission, recently shared some of her favorite local, state, and national resources available online and for free:

*        The Oregon Historic Photograph Collection (https://www.salemhistory.net/<https://cityofsalem.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9c537ef0aeb7914e4fe4f6d5c&id=94044734c4&e=d3bb070160>) has historic photos from all across the state, but an emphasis on Salem and the Willamette Valley. My favorites are all the cats that used to occupy the Bush House.

  *   Oregon Encyclopedia (https://www.oregonencyclopedia.org/<https://cityofsalem.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9c537ef0aeb7914e4fe4f6d5c&id=a8ef825755&e=d3bb070160>) has short but sweet essays about historic events, people, and places.  I have greatly enjoyed the articles on suffrage during Women's History Month.
  *   For all the news that's fit to print, check out Historic Oregon Newspapers (https://oregonnews.uoregon.edu/<https://cityofsalem.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9c537ef0aeb7914e4fe4f6d5c&id=722524f078&e=d3bb070160>). There are some great advertisements from back in the day... and some that did not age so well.
  *   If state politics and legislation is your thing, the Oregon State Archives (https://sos.oregon.gov/archives/Pages/records.aspx<https://cityofsalem.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9c537ef0aeb7914e4fe4f6d5c&id=ead0a0c320&e=d3bb070160>) is your go to place.
  *   Nationally, the Library of Congress (https://www.loc.gov/collections/<https://cityofsalem.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9c537ef0aeb7914e4fe4f6d5c&id=5a19243157&e=d3bb070160>) has a wide variety of collections, including historic photos from the Historic American Building Survey and newspapers in the Chronicling America (https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/<https://cityofsalem.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9c537ef0aeb7914e4fe4f6d5c&id=0eb3237b85&e=d3bb070160>) collection.
  *   The Willamette Heritage Center has also gathered a great list of online resources (https://www.willametteheritage.org/whc-research-resources/<https://cityofsalem.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9c537ef0aeb7914e4fe4f6d5c&id=eb7202daa6&e=d3bb070160>) and digital exhibits (https://www.willametteheritage.org/category/digital-collections/<https://cityofsalem.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9c537ef0aeb7914e4fe4f6d5c&id=059c70c9d3&e=d3bb070160>).
