OR-rooters,

 

Just thought I would check in and make sure the transition to the new address for the list was working.  It appears to work correctly on my end but perhaps if I got a few responses back I would feel more assured that we are still functioning properly.

 

To make it more worthwhile for you to read the message I thought I would share with you some updates from the Archives.

 

We are still not open to the public but are beginning to work on the process of re-opening.  It will likely be a phased process with a variety of changes to protect the health and safety of both staff and the researchers.  Stayed tuned, but in the meantime please use the online options if you would like to request copies of any records.

 

I also want to let you know that we now have the early vital records that had previously been held by the Center for Health Statistics.  These include:

 

Oregon Birth Certificates from June 1903-1915

Oregon Marriage Returns from 1911-1945

Oregon Divorce returns from 1925-1945

Delayed Birth records from 1903-1918

 

The records are being scanned and will eventually be available on Ancestry and FamilySearch but as you can imagine the indexing of these records will take some time.  If  you would like to request records from the Reference Desk please use the form found here. 

 

https://sos.oregon.gov/archives/Pages/records/request-record.aspx

 

Please include as much information as you may have such as the name; date and county.  

 

Stay well,

 

Layne Sawyer
