article explores the history of the FDLP Regional Collection in Oregon
libraries. It covers the origin and evolution of the collection which is
currently managed by the State Library of Oregon by way of shared housing
agreements. The transition away from print-based to digital access points to a
shift in role for the collection, with more emphasis on long-term preservation.
This shift prompts an examination of options for improving the management of
