Historical Society to close archives

2003-01-23
By The Associated Press



The Oklahoma Historical Society will close its archives, research library and
newspaper reading room next month to save money and consolidate its research
facilities. A statewide budget shortfall has resulted in the loss of $1.7
million in revenue to the Historical Society over the past year, executive
director Bob Blackburn said. Budget problems have forced a 20 percent
reduction in staff positions plus eight furlough days for staff members.
Blackburn said the society had planned to consolidate its research facilities
at the new Oklahoma History Center, scheduled to open in 2004. "We have had
to accelerate that plan to meet budget problems and therefore fewer staff
positions," he said. The reading rooms will be closed on Feb. 1 and will
reopen March 1. When the research facilities reopen, visitors will go to one
reference desk to use all materials, Blackburn said. The society was founded
in 1893 by the Oklahoma Press Association to collect newspapers printed in
the state. The society now has more than 30 million individual pages of
newspapers, representing more than 4,000 titles and 95 percent of all the
newspapers ever printed in Oklahoma.
