OR-Rooters,

October is Archives Month and the State Archives has a number of events on
tap to help celebrate this month including a new exhibit.

                Oregon State Archives has opened a new exhibit featuring
photographs of cemeteries around the state.  The images offer a look at
the wide range of ways that people represent themselves and their loved ones
in death.  The exhibit shows cemeteries in diverse        settings all
around Oregon - from farmland to deserts to mountains. Thirty three
photographic panels make up the exhibit and    include descriptions about
the image, show the location of the cemetery and gives information about the
site. 

                The photographs in the exhibit were taken by Senior
Archivist Gary Halvorson while traveling the state conducting historical
county               records surveys for the State Archives. 

                The exhibit is located in the lobby gallery of the State
Archives building and is open from 8:00 to noon and 1:00 to 4:45 Monday
through Friday.

                Saturday, October 11th the State Archives will be hosting an
open house from 10-3 and the exhibit will be available for viewing along
with selected historical documents from the holdings and tours of the
building.     

 

The Archives will also be participating in an "Exposition" of local heritage
organizations on campus at Western Oregon University, October 15th from
10:30-1:30, as well as the "Archives
Crawl"(http://pdxarchivists.wordpress.com/ ) in Portland October 18th.  If
you are out and about on any of these dates please feel free to stop by and
say hello.  I always enjoy meeting list members in person.  

Hope you are all enjoying a lovely fall.

 

Regards,

 

Layne Sawyer
