[Libs-Or] Materials offering of genealogy materials at State Library

[MaryKay Dahlgreen]

We have had some questions about the offering we will be doing at the State Library on January 21st so here is clarification in case you have questions. Please let me know if you need more information or have questions. We are asking libraries and genealogy societies to sign up in advance with Kate McGann kate.e.mcgann at state.or.us<mailto:kate.e.mcgann at state.or.us>


The Willamette Valley Genealogical Society (WVGS) has been housing selected genealogical resources at the Genealogical Resources Center (GRC) at the Oregon State Library (OSL) through a partnership that began in 1987.  These materials were purchased and acquired by WVGS.  They are WVGS materials and will be moved to the WVGS new location which is expected to be the Salem Public Library. The partnership between the State Library and WVGS has ended, although the State Library will store the WVGS materials until May 2015. Genealogy materials added to the Oregon State Library collection prior to 1987 that meet established collection development guidelines will remain in the State Library collection. Materials that are housed at OSL but belong to other organizations will not be removed from the collection. Materials that do not meet the mission of the Collections of the Oregon State Library will be weeded from the collection, which is standard practice with library materials.  Weeded items will follow the OSL collection disposal process and stipulations in the Memorandum of Understanding between the Oregon State Library and the Willamette Valley Genealogical Society.  Disposition of these genealogy materials is being coordinated with WVGS and the genealogical community in Oregon.  Materials are being offered to genealogy organizations and other libraries.  If you have questions about the material offering process please contact Kate McGann at kate.e.mcgann at state.or.us<mailto:kate.e.mcgann at state.or.us>.
