LSTA Annotated Bibliographies

The Oregon Encyclopedia has been on the road the spring and summer of 2010 holding a series of meetings at libraries throughout the state. We’ve been asking members of each community to contribute their knowledge of local history and culture and to lead us to new authors and contributors. At each site, library staff has shared information about the local historical resources available at their libraries that can help people research and learn about the history of the local community and region. A local historian presented at many of the meetings and participants learned more about The Oregon Encyclopedia. Each library held two meetings.

Many of the libraries compiled annotated bibliographies of significant resources in their collection, available below.
