<p class="MsoNormal">We’re counting down to an exciting new chapter for the Oregon Historical Society Research Library! To allow for extensive renovations of our downtown Portland library starting in March 2020, library staff and collections are moving offsite.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The downtown library will remain open through December 28. We will reopen to researchers by appointment at our temporary offsite location in early spring, and continue to answer reference questions by email and phone during the construction
phase. The OHS museum will remain open; we anticipate no interruption to other OHS activities during this time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
