[or-roots] Archives and records

[Diane]

Before the new Archives building was built...our valuable records were in a sort of huge warehouse down by the river in Salem.  It is a wonder that anything survived that environment.  I was there, and was simply appalled that the State 'fathers' did not allocate money  for a descent location and building for the history of Oregon.  Then when this needed building was built there was a lot of silly comments, and refusals to attend the dedication by some politicians.  It is my understanding that the contractor upgraded the materials at his own cost, and the building was finished before the expected date.
