Oregon Heritage MentorCorps Q&A recap
The new year kicked off with a successful Handling and Care of Paper Materials Q&A with MentorCorps mentor Dave Hegeman. Many great questions were raised about caring for these delicate collections and highlights include discussions on processes for minor repairs, encapsulation of sensitive objects, building a finding aid, humidification for flattening, and proper storage. For your reference and future needs, some of these topics are addressed in the Oregon Heritage Bulletin 15: Simple Steps for Paper Preservation.<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/HB15_Simple_Steps_for_Paper_Preservation.pdf>

Oregon Historical Quarterly Winter 2021 Special Issue “Chinese Diaspora in Oregon” Articles Now Available in Chinese
*The following news item was taken from the Oregon Historical Society January E-Digest, Vol.4
“In the Winter 2021 special issue of the Oregon Historical Quarterly, twenty authors contributed new research and conclusions about the history of Chinese people in Oregon — a subject that has been erased in Oregon’s public memory over the course of 200 years. Published in partnership with the Oregon Chinese Diaspora Project and guided by co-guest editors Jennifer Fang and Chelsea Rose, the heavily illustrated issue draws on the expertise of historians, archaeologists, genealogists, and community knowledge-holders, who help readers better understand this part of Oregon’s past.

To provide greater access to this scholarship, the Oregon Historical Society is excited to announce that there are now three articles translated into Chinese that are available for free online:
