Oregon Historical Society

Building Public Access Funding will enable the Oregon Historical Society (OHS) to allow 24-hour remote public access to its collections by supporting digitalization efforts and Web enhancement activities. They will select high-profile items and the most heavily used library collections for digitization and digitize at least 20 percent of artifacts and library materials and process them for the Web site by the end of 2004. This technological initiative will be coordinated with the Society's Oregon History Project, a series of teacher training workshops and initiatives throughout the state designed to encourage teachers to discover new ways to engage students in thinking about Oregon history.
