Oregon Newspapers on Microfilm -
at the Oregon Historical Society
List prepared April 2001 by Connie Lenzen, CGSM
The Oregon Historical Society in Portland, Oregon, has a large collection of Oregon newspapers on microfilm. The following list was compiled from the index created in the 1970s by the reference staff.
I have special rates for obituaries. I go to the Oregon Historical Society Library on a regular basis and can group obituary requests. This results in a saving to my clients. Click here for additional information.
