Donations
 Making a Donation Thanks to the generosity of the people of Oregon as well as people outside the state, the Oregon Historical Society Research Library has been able to build a large and important collection of papers, books, photographs, maps, audio recordings, films, and other historical materials. We are grateful to you for donating these valuable materials to us, and we look forward to working with you in our continuing efforts to document the history of the Oregon Country. If you would like to discuss a donation with us, please contact the research library at libreference@ohs.org or (503) 306-5240.
