[or-roots] Archives - Death/Birth Certificates

[Barbara Herring]

Denise, 

When I toured the State Archives last fall, Layne said that they did not have the Birth Certificates.  The V ital S tatistics in Portland still has them and has not figured out a good way to preserve them on microfilm or some other way as some are in very fragile condition.  So e ven though the privacy rule is only for 100 years, the mechanics of making the certificates available has not been worked out.  Hopefully, it won't take  another 100 years for them to figure it out!

I am aware the State Archives has the Original Death Certificates on hand 
(& those of 1961 and prior can be viewed/copied).  These are not in the 
online index of Historical records. 

I am aware they have delayed birth certificates (& those appear in the 
online index for those individuals who had them and the copies are at the 
Archives). 

Does the State Archives also have the Original Birth Certificates on hand 
(& those prior to 1912 are viewable)?   Thanks for the clarification. 

Denise
