> does a sampling of strange, old medical tools interest you?
>
> We have that and more waiting for you as we kick off Oregon Archives Month
> with a smorgasbord of Portland-area archives.  Join us on Saturday, October
> 3rd from 11 AM to 3 PM at the Portland Archives and Records Center. Take a
> behind the scenes tour of the City's archives and see history up close and
> personal.
>
> Talk with local area archivists representing 11 different archives:
> City of Portland
> Gay and Lesbian Archives of the Pacific Northwest
> Lewis & Clark College
> Mazamas
> Metro
> Multnomah County
> Oregon Health & Science University
> Oregon Historical Society
> Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education
> Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center

> As Barrat also mentioned, the Mock Pura Belpr? Award, can help this
> process through informative presentations, learning about how to select

> OLA-CSD has offer a great opportunity to launch the first Mock Pura Belpr?
> Award which will take place at the Hillsboro Public Library - Main on
> Saturday, December 12 from 10 to 4 and everybody is welcome. We'll try, as
