Experience Oregon

For more than a century The Oregon Historical Society (OHS) has served as the state’s collective memory, gathering and preserving a vast collection of artefacts, photographs, films, manuscripts, books and oral histories. This vivid selection illuminates the depth of Oregon’s history; a history too rich to be contained within a single story or point of view. Published in conjunction with OHS’s permanent exhibit, Experience Oregon, this illustrated companion provides a glimpse of the countless people, places and events that have made the state of Oregon what it is today.
