a statewide cooperative effort focused on the collections of library,
museum, and archival organizations. Funded in part by a grant from the
federal Institute of Museum and Library Services, members of the Northwest
Archivists, Oregon Historical Society, Oregon Library Association, Oregon
State Library, Oregon State Archives, Támastslikt Cultural Institute, and
Oregon Heritage created the heritage MentorCorps.

Heritage Mentors are being sought to provide information and training in
collections care and emergency preparedness for libraries, museums and
