State Archives

 

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historical documents from the holdings and tours of the building.
