  The thing is, this they do not want to move to Portland. They serve Salem and the surrounding areas. This is not a Portland society. Portland already has a genealogy society with a library. Why would they go there??

  I am not even a member anymore, but was President many, many years ago.  I cannot speak to what they are going to do now. This will be a year of transition though, I am sure, while they decide what to do. 

  You should contact the Society for more information.  Go to their web site and click on their newsletter and you can read the Legislature's bill and the discussion by the Society president on the issue.     Mimi Stang

    Just curious.
    I been hosting a rootsweb list for the WVGS for years, but I never seen them using it. 
       Should not be to hard to find a donated place in Portland.
    Has any one approached that Idea?
    There are so many places empty.
    Why cant they co exist?
    How big a building do they need?

      Not entirely true but the Willamette Genealogical Society is being asked to move their books out so are looking for a new home. I think they have about a year before this is to happen though.      Mimi Stang

         Some one put in a message on my ORLANE co list that the Oregon legislature was closing the State Library.
          Is this a myth or a fact?
