The second annual Oregon <span>Archives</span> <span>Crawl</span> is happening on October 15, 2011 and volunteers are needed to help make it a successful event. The Oregon <span>Archives</span> <span>Crawl</span>
brings together over 30 organizations at 4 main venues in the downtown
Portland area, allowing the public to tour the venues and get a peek at
the <span>archives</span> and special collections of a variety of institutes. The <span>crawl</span> happens throughout the day on Saturday with an after party at McMenamin's Mission Pub.
