this information if you feel it may be of help or interest to any of your
members. Thank you. *****


http://www.historicaloregon.org/ This is a new site that has been
started by a group called Historical Oregon Information Services. It is a
non-profit group to help individuals and groups access information about
Oregon and it's history. Our site includes free services such as
"look-ups" on Oregon, newsletter and a guest book. We also have books at low
prices covering Oregon cemeteries, Oregon towns and World War II. At
Historical Oregon Information Services we hope that this may be of some
use to members of your group.
Our "Look-Ups" on Oregon page covers towns, rail stops, ferries, stage
stops, hard rock mines and schools as well as other types of places in the
state of Oregon. In the future we will have cemeteries also listed. In most
cases we have included any of the above listed items that pertain to the
location name. This, however, is an ongoing project and updating our files
is being done constantly. Under the name of the location, in most cases, we
have the county in which it is located, Post office, Rail Road, location and
any pertinent information regarding the location name.
Our newsletter is sent out bi-weekly and has information pertaining to
Oregon and its history. In the newsletter we cover such things as name
changes, multiple places with the same name, postal changes, new links,
information about a place and other pertinent information about groups and
their activities.
We have link pages on genealogy and Oregon history. These links are
listed in alphabetical order under appropriate headings. There are pages for
genealogy and Oregon history with more headings to come in the future.
At Historical Oregon Information Services we would also like to include
any information regarding web pages, meetings and e-mail services pertaining
to your group. We would be happy to include any of this information in our
newsletter and or link pages for anyone that is interested.
Thank you for your valuable time. We hope that this site can be of some
benefit to you and or your group members in the event that any questions
about Oregon arise. We hope to hear from you or anyone in your group, if you
have any need for information on Oregon, in the future. Thanks again.
