Digitizing the Oregon Story: Creating Access to Significant Legal and Political Oral Histories at the Oregon Historical Society

About This Grant

This project will create global access to 212 interviews in the OHS Research Library collection, unique primary source documentation of Oregon politics, law, and government on local, county, state, federal and international levels currently on obsolescent analog tapes. Interviewees include lawmakers, judges, and government officials, with a wide variety of perspectives and insights. Virtual access to these historically significant recordings will benefit students, educators, scholars, and all Oregonians, with broad appeal for scholarship, education, and informed citizenship.
