Welcome to The Oregon History Project, an online resource for learning about Oregon’s past. In these pages, historians and writers can help you explore the history of Oregon through the perspectives of the people who helped shape Oregon. Teachers and students can browse the Learning Center for suggestions on interpreting and researching historical records and for first-person accounts written by students and teachers who have studied and taught Oregon history. Supported by a growing on-line archive of historical records from the Oregon Historical Society collections, the Oregon History Project focuses on the themes and regions important to Oregon, and provides a sense of the diverse people and events that make up the history of Oregon. Click onto Oregon Histories and browse narratives related to Oregon, Portland, Klamath Basin, Lewis and Clark, and Southwestern Oregon history. Go to Historic Viewers and participate in an interactive digitized learning experience that tracks change over time in the Portland landscape, Oregon boundaries, Celilo Falls, and Indian lands. See for intriguing stories about some of Oregon’s most significant historical figures. Search through Historical Records to see digitized photographs, artifacts, journal entries, government documents, maps, and a variety of other sources from the Oregon Historical Society Research Library and Collections. Visit the Learning Center for digitized lesson plans, information on how to teach with primary sources, interdisciplinary approaches to primary sources, and interpretive essays. If you already know what you are looking for, go to the Search function and research by keyword, primary source type, theme, era, or region. Finally, when you are done researching, please take a moment to fill out the Feedback form so that the Historical Society can better understand how to fulfill your needs! The Oregon Historical Society welcomes your suggestions and advice as we add to the materials on the web site. Please address any comments to orhist@ohs.org .
