Historical NoteReturn to Top
Since its founding in 1898, the Oregon Historical Society has collected ephemera of all kinds, most of it documenting the history of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. In the mid-20th century, librarians at the Society began organizing these materials into what became known as "Topical Collections." One such collection, the Military Collection, collated various items concerning wars and other military actions relating to Oregon. In some cases, manuscripts and other original documents were added to the collection. Additional materials are added from time to time.
