[or-roots] Message from Oregon State Archives Director

[SAWYER Layne G]

To our users:

The state budget crisis has resulted in substantial cuts to the budget of the State Archives. After careful examination of our alternatives, I have decided that we will try to maintain our services to you by increasing our fees. We are working on a revised fee schedule and we will adopt it as an Oregon Administrative Rule. As soon as the Rule is filed, I will post it on the State Archives web site http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/ for your information and comment. Our target date for the fee increase to go into effect is July 1, 2002.

I regret that these measures are necessary. The Archives staff is rightly proud of the service it provides to all of you. Many of you have been kind enough to send us your compliments on the quality of these services. With your understanding and support, I am hopeful that we will be able to continue this tradition.

You can contact me at 503-373-0701 (ext. 237) or by e-mail at roy.c.turnbaugh at state.or.us
