<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For more than a century, the Oregon Historical Society has served as the state’s collective memory, preserving a vast collection of artifacts, photographs, maps, manuscript materials, books, films, and oral histories. Our research library,
museum, digital platforms & website (<a href="file:///\\ohsfsdc1\shared\Development%20and%20Membership\Marketing\Press%20Releases\2015\www.ohs.org">www.ohs.org</a>), educational programming, and historical journal make Oregon’s history open and accessible
to all.<i> </i>We exist because history is powerful, and because a history as deep and rich as Oregon’s cannot be contained within a single story or point of view.
