About the Forum
Since 1998, the Mark O. Hatfield Distinguished Historians Forum has provided a broad perspective on United States history by presenting the nation's top scholars and writers. Most featured lecturers have won a Pulitzer Prize or National Book Award for their writing, and many are among the most revered academicians in the nation.

The Hatfield Forum is typically a four-part lecture series held at the First Congregational Church in downtown Portland (1126 SW Park Ave.). However, a special fifth lecture has been added for the 2007-2008 series. All lectures will begin at 7:30 pm.

To receive a brochure or reserve tickets, please call (503) 222-1741 or order online.
