<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Garamond',serif; COLOR: black"> Oregon Archives Month will kick off with a smorgasbord of Portland-area archives. “History: Feed Your Head” will begin at 11 a.m. Oct. 3 at the Portland Archives and Records Center,

to know where you can find maps of the city from the 1890s? Are you hankering to learn about the history of Portland’s Japantown? Do you have an appetite for local oral histories? Or does a sampling of strange, old medical tools interest you?</span><span style="COLOR: black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Garamond',serif; COLOR: black">Take a behind the scenes tour of the City’s archives and see history up close and personal. Talk with local area archivists representing 10 other archives, including Lewis and Clark
College, Mazamas, Metro, Multnomah County, Oregon Health and Science University, Oregon Historical Society, Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education, Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center, Portland State University, and PSU’s Architecture, Engineering
