<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi!<br><br></div>A few months ago, we had the entire contents of the Menasha Research Library donated to our library. Unfortunately, mostly due to space, we can't keep all of it. I've already pulled the items that we intend to add to our Oregon History collection. I'm now trying to "re-home" the rest of the collection. The catch is that we don't have the money in our library budget to pay to ship the items to other libraries or museums.<br><br></div><div>The collection includes a combination of books, bound research reports, industry related magazines, and loose documentation. Most of it focuses on the Pacific Northwest (Oregon in particular), but there is an entire box of items relating to logging operations in other states and even a few in other countries. I also have an entire box full of resources about the logging industry in Washington state.<br><br>As a local researcher myself, I can see the value in the collection which mostly includes out-of-print resources. So, I'd hate for these irreplaceable resources to end up in the "circular bin." Would any of you be interested in giving some of these items a good home? Or, do you know any other organizations or individuals that might be interested?<br><br></div><div>I don't have a full inventory, but the following is a basic description of the items that need homes:<br><br></div><div>Forest Products Journal-- 14 editions from 1988-1994<br></div><div>Random Lengths Yearbook: A Reference to Forest Product Price Trends & Other Data-- 5 editions 1976-1988<br></div><div>Production, Prices, Employment & Trade in NW Forest Industries-- 1964-2004<br></div><div>Crow's Forest Industry Journal-- 22 editions from 1988-1998 <br></div><div><br></div><div>Half a box of resources relating to logging history in Oregon (outside of Coos County)<br></div><div>A full box of technical publications which includes 3 OSU Thesis's<br></div><div>A full box of resources related to logging and logging history in Washington state<br></div><div>A full box of resources on logging history in other states (please ask for details if interested) <br></div><div><br clear="all"><div><div>Thank you!<br></div><div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hannah Contino<br></div>Reference Librarian<br></div>North Bend Public Library<br></div>1800 Sherman Avenue<br></div>North Bend, OR 97459<br>(541)756-0400<br></div></div>
