Hello, I'm Oregon Historical Society.

The Oregon Historical Society is dedicated to making Oregon's long​,​ rich history visible and accessible to all. For more than a century​,​ the Oregon Historical Society has served as the state's collective memory​,​ preserving a vast collection of artifacts​,​ photographs​,​ maps​,​ manuscript materials​,​ books​,​ films​,​ and oral histories. Our research library​,​ museum​,​ digital platform​,​ educational programming​,​ and historical journal make Oregon's history open and accessible to all. We exist because history is powerful​,​ and because a history as deep and rich as Oregon's cannot be contained within a single story or point of view.
