Oregon is celebrating Oregon Archives Week during the week of October
8th through 16th, 2005. According to Layne Sawyer, Acting State
Archivist and spokesperson for Archives Week, "This year we will be
celebrating archives as 'Landscapes of Discovery', emphasizing the
significance of historical documents throughout the state. Oregon has
numerous archival facilities and services waiting to be discovered and
we want the public to know about them."



Many of you may not be aware that the Multnomah County Records
Management Program maintains a growing collection of historic records
accessible to both county employees and the public. To acquaint people
with our program and its holdings, we will be hosting Archives Week
tours at the Yeon Complex at 1620 SE 190th Avenue. Tours will be
conducted on October 12th at 10am, 11am, 1pm and 2pm.



We hope you can make it out to the Records Center and Archives and join
us in our Archives Week celebration You will see how the program
operates, tour our facility, view historical records, and meet the
Records Management Program staff. Refreshments will be available. If you
have family or friends who might be interested in seeing the archives,
please let them know they are very welcome to join any of the tours.
