[or-roots] Portland City Directories

[Denise Merritt]

You can also travel to Eugene - I believe it was at the University library 
that they had an amazing collection of old city directories for all over the 
state.  I visited it in years past and it was in a seperate room (seems like 
it was upstairs).

I'm afraid that won't make you much happier than Portland, but it is a good 
resource to know about. <Grin>  Eugene also has newspapers on microfilm for 
the whole state.

Perhaps you could send an email to OHS and maybe someone would be kind and 
reply with the information you seek?
