It is wise to acquaint yourself with any Oregon repository which you might visit by writing to the appropriate Oregon archive or library in advance. Every Oregon repository has published materials that introduce its collections and research policy. Oregon State archives and Oregon historical agencies also have Internet sites that provide the same information. Some even have downloadable databases for some or parts of their collections.

Oregon Historical & Genealogical Societies
For almost every state there is a state genealogical society, a state genealogical council, or both. In addition to their own work, state-level groups sometimes help coordinate the efforts of local societies within the state. Their publications, newsletters and quarterlies, supplement those produced by the local societies.
