I am sending this email from another list for those who may not be aware of another source for research in the Portland, Oregon area.  Up until a week ago I was not aware of this place.

For those who might like to learn more about the archives in Portland! Tours are being offered. See message. From member Janet Irwin 
Oregon is celebrating Oregon Archives Week during the week of October 8th through 16th, 2005. According to Layne Sawyer, Acting State Archivist and spokesperson for Archives Week, "This year we will be celebrating archives as 'Landscapes of Discovery', emphasizing the significance of historical documents throughout the state. Oregon has numerous archival facilities and services waiting to be discovered and we want the public to know about them." 

Many of you may not be aware that the Multnomah County Records Management Program maintains a growing collection of historic records accessible to both county employees and the public. To acquaint people with our program and its holdings, we will be hosting Archives Week tours at the Yeon Complex at 1620 SE 190th Avenue. Tours will be conducted on October 12th at 10am, 11am, 1pm and 2pm. 

We hope you can make it out to the Records Center and Archives and join us in our Archives Week celebration You will see how the program operates, tour our facility, view historical records, and meet the Records Management Program staff. Refreshments will be available. If you have family or friends who might be interested in seeing the archives, please let them know they are very welcome to join any of the tours.
