This year has really been one for the books. The Archives still remains closed to in-person research but staff are here in rotating shifts and responding to remote requests.  Please feel free to contact the Reference Desk if you would like to make a request.  The online form can be found at this link. https://sos.oregon.gov/archives/Pages/order.aspx       We have recently added delayed birth records from 1903-1918 to the database, along with many other records over the past months, so be sure to keep checking back.  https://genealogy.state.or.us/      On a personal note I will be retiring from state service at the end of 2020.  I have been with the Archives for 34 years and have loved working with the staff and researchers over these many years.  Much has changed in that time but I know that the commitment to preserving and making information from our holdings available will continue to be a priority.    I hope you are all staying safe and healthy and that 2021 will be a calmer and brighter year for us all.    All the Best.    Layne Sawyer “List Mom”  Oregon State Archives
