<p class=MsoNormal>BIBLIOGRAPHY OF OREGON TRAIL EMIGRANT RESOURCES <br>
<br>
Willamette Valley Genealogical Society and the Oregon State Library have a long
history of working together to provide Oregon citizens with research support in
the area of genealogy and state history. Now WVGS volunteers Evelyn Gatlin and
Sandy Graham have compiled a bibliography of resources, from the State Library
collection, that contain names and personal accounts of the thousands of
emigrants who traveled the Oregon Trail. This resource will be very helpful to
anyone who is researching Oregon history or genealogy. The bibliography <a
href="http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/GRES/OregonTrailBibliography.pdf"><http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/GRES/OregonTrailBibliography.pdf></a>
<a href="http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/GRES/OregonTrailBibliography.pdf"><http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/GRES/OregonTrailBibliography.pdf></a>
lists 160 resources and includes manuscripts, journals, diaries, interviews,
family histories and other resources. Check the online catalog <a
href="http://catalog.willamette.edu/screens/opacmenu_s2.html"><http://catalog.willamette.edu/screens/opacmenu_s2.html></a>
<a href="http://catalog.willamette.edu/screens/opacmenu_s2.html"><http://catalog.willamette.edu/screens/opacmenu_s2.html></a>
of the State Library for availability of any of the resources. Items that
circulate can be ordered via interlibrary loan through your public
library. <br>
