[or-roots] Bibliography of Oregon Trail emigrant resources available

[Anne Billeter]

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF OREGON TRAIL EMIGRANT RESOURCES 

Willamette Valley Genealogical Society and the Oregon State Library have 
a long history of working together to provide Oregon citizens with 
research support in the area of genealogy and state history. Now WVGS 
volunteers Evelyn Gatlin and Sandy Graham have compiled a bibliography 
of resources, from the State Library collection, that contain names and 
personal accounts of the thousands of emigrants who traveled the Oregon 
Trail. This resource will be very helpful to anyone who is researching 
Oregon history or genealogy. The bibliography 
<http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/GRES/OregonTrailBibliography.pdf> 
<http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/GRES/OregonTrailBibliography.pdf> lists 160 
resources and includes manuscripts, journals, diaries, interviews, 
family histories and other resources. Check the online catalog 
<http://catalog.willamette.edu/screens/opacmenu_s2.html> 
<http://catalog.willamette.edu/screens/opacmenu_s2.html> of the State 
Library for availability of any of the resources.  Items that circulate 
can be ordered via interlibrary loan through your public library.
