[or-roots] Celebrate Archives Month

[Layne G SAWYER]

October has been designated Oregon Archives Month - a time to celebrate
Oregon’s unique archival heritage. As part of a larger national
recognition effort, Oregon Archives Month seeks to focus attention on
the importance of records that have enduring value as well as the people
and institutions who preserve them.

As part of the observation of Oregon Archives Month the Oregon State
Archives is offering two workshops on Conducting Archival Research. The
workshops are scheduled for October 14 and October 29 at the Oregon
State Archives building in Salem.  The workshops will cover basic
archival research with an emphasis on Oregon resources and records.
Attendees will also receive a "behind the scenes" tour of the Archives
at the conclusion of the workshop.   

Space is limited so please contact Layne Sawyer at (503) 378-5198 or
email layne.g.sawyer at state.or.us to reserve a spot at one of these two
workshops.
