“During the past five decades,
we have received hundreds of
studies and reports about historic
and pre-historic places in
Oregon,” said Chrissy Curran,
manager of Oregon Heritage and
the deputy state historic
preservation officer. “We’ve
worked so that the public can
now have easy access to these
documents as well as the titles of
other books that have been
published since the 1950s.”
