The joint event, which will take place April 26-28, brings together in Salem two major springtime heritage gatherings of the Pacific Northwest. The venue is the Salem Conference Center, which is located at the same intersection where Salem?s first retail store was built in the 1840s and where Oregon?s governmental buildings were located in 1859 when statehood occurred. The conference theme will be "Fertile Ground: Planting the Seeds for Restoration, Innovation and Collaboration." Using the fertile lands of the Willamette Valley as a backdrop, it highlights the multi-disciplinary approaches that are strengthening and expanding the capacity of archives and other heritage fields in the Northwest. Attendees will include community leaders, staff and volunteers from archives, records repositories, historical societies, museums, historic cemeteries, ethnic organizations, schools, historic preservation commissions, humanities groups, Main Street programs, the tourism industry, economic development, history buffs and professional historians, youth, and local, tribal, state and federal governments. The 2012 conference will include new events, as well as activities popular at Northwest Archivists meetings and Oregon Heritage Conferences. These include keynote speakers, panels, workshops, and behind-the-scenes visits to some of the area?s historic buildings and archives. The Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards banquet and the Oregon Heritage Fellowship research talks are also scheduled.
