The Winter Oregon Historical Quarterly 2021 "Chinese Diaspora in Oregon<https://www.ohs.org/research-and-library/oregon-historical-quarterly/current-issue.cfm>" special issue contributes to a growing body of work that documents early Chinese residents' role in shaping Oregon's development as a state and therefore makes significant changes in how we all understand the Oregon story. The publication is the result of work by scholars and researchers working across academic disciplines, across the state, and even across the Pacific Ocean. This panel discussion includes both guest editors, each of whom authored or co-authored pieces in the special issue, as well as authors whose scholarship reveals the powerful ways that Chinese people shaped Grant County and Salem, particularly during the late nineteenth century. Each will give brief remarks about their projects, after which, we will open the floor to questions from the audience.

State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation meets virtually February 18

The State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation (SACHP) will meet February 18 via conference call to consider nominations to the National Register of Historic Places. This meeting is open to the public.

The SACHP meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m. to consider nominations to the National Register. Anyone may listen to the meeting and instructions on how to attend will be posted on the commission web page prior to the meeting. Registration is required to speak at the meeting, and is available online at https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Pages/Commissions.aspx#SACHP

Meeting Agenda: hearings of one proposed de-listing and three proposed nominations.

For specific hearing times, refer to the online agenda: www.oregonheritage.org<http://www.oregonheritage.org> (click on "Commissions & Committees" at top of page and look under "State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation").

The committee will review one proposed de-listing petition: The Sumpter Valley Railway, Middle Fork (John Day River) Spur, Grant County.

The committee will review three proposed nominations: Phoenix Pharmacy, Portland; Sarah Helmick State Park, Monmouth vcty.; Portland Golf Club Clubhouse, Washington County.

This effort aligns with the Oregon Historic Preservation Plan goal to increase the thematic diversity of Oregon properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It also supports the goals to include more voices and increase access to Oregon heritage that are part of the Oregon Heritage Plan.

Nominations recommended by the SACHP go to the National Park Service, which maintains the Register under the authority of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.

The SACHP is a nine-member governor-appointed citizen commission with credentials in many historic preservation-related fields.

The conference call is accessible to people with disabilities. Special accommodations for the meeting may be made with at least three days of advance notice by calling (503) 986-0690.

More information about the National Register of Historic Places process is online at www.oregonheritage.org<http://www.oregonheritage.org>.

The Archaeology Roadshow Goes Virtual in 2022, Launching May 1

The 2022 Archaeology Roadshow will be an all virtual experience hosted on our website, beginning May 1.  We are disappointed that COVID challenges keep us from hosting in-person events this spring, but we showed we can engage the public virtually in 2021 - and want to build on our success, using the website we created as a hub to further support stewardship of archaeology and heritage in Oregon and beyond.

As in 2021, the 2022 Roadshow website, ArchaeologyRoadshow.org<https://archaeologyroadshow.org/>, will host virtual exhibits created by federal and state agencies, Tribes, companies, universities, historical societies, museums, and avocational organizations in our state who want to showcase what their group does or has accomplished in support of heritage.  The exhibits could be blogs, short videos, downloadable activities for children, etc., that show ways heritage matters to the public. Drawing on our 2021 experiences, the Roadshow Planning Committee is putting together a simple "best practices" guide to help you create a virtual exhibit that tells "your story" in the most effective way possible.

We are also hosting live Zoom presentations and panel discussions on a range of topics sprinkled over the month of May, recorded for later viewing; and an expert panel where visitors can log in to talk with an expert about their treasured object. We also will be adding to our state Heritage Map - highlighting places the public can explore on their own.

Our theme for 2022 is "The Archaeology of Water." We'll host speakers that highlight ways the history of Oregon and its people have been shaped by water and invite you to consider this theme in your own exhibit planning.

Keeping our event free and open to the widest possible audience through development of the digital platform, will require financial support as well as your time and talents. We hope you will consider joining us as a fiscal sponsor. Your sponsorship will be recognized in social media and the online event platform.

The 2021 website was visited close to 5000 times between June and November, suggesting our digital platform is an excellent way to promote your organization to a wide audience.

We'll be launching the new website content on May 1, with deadlines for submissions of exhibits in mid-April.  If you are considering creating an exhibit, please visit the website<https://archaeologyroadshow.org/exhibitor-registration-and-resources/> and fill out the registration form by March 15. This is a preliminary commitment only. Once you register, we'll share detailed instructions about exhibit format and uploading.

Please contact us if you have any questions at all:  archshow at pdx.edu<mailto:archshow at pdx.edu>

Multiple positions are available with AISES partner, BPA.

Positions will be available in BPA's Transmission Services in one of the following organizations:  Planning and Asset Management, System Operations, and Engineering and Technical - depending on the students' engineering major of study and interest.

The ideal student will have a background in electrical, civil or mechanical engineering.

Another position will be open in BPA's Fish & Wildlife Program. For this internship, the first and last week are spent at the BPA Headquarters in Portland, OR where the intern is exposed to work completed by the BPA Fish and Wildlife Program - a nearly $300 million annual program that implements fish and wildlife related projects in the region.

The intern performs a suite of fish culturist and technician tasks with the Yakama Nation hatchery team as well as partnering state agencies. The intern will learn the importance of supplementation and management actions within the Yakima Basin. Work performed at Cle Elum is integral to the return of salmon to Columbia River tributaries. This internship provides many opportunities to gain hands-on experience with projects, field work, professional development and networking.
