Historical NoteReturn to Top
The first Bishop of the Diocese of Oregon, Thomas Fielding Scott, arrived on April 22, 1854, five years before Oregon became a state, four years after the first Episcopal services were read on the bank of the Willamette River at Champoeg, and a year after the first congregations were organized. His responsibilities included all of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho and parts of Montana. After 1863 this was reduced to what is now Oregon and Washington, and in 1880 Washington became a separate diocese. In 1907 the Missionary Diocese of Eastern Oregon was formed to serve congregations east of the Cascade Range.
The first Episcopal Church, Trinity, was consecrated in Oregon on September 24, 1854. In 1861 the first issue of the Oregon Churchman was published as a tool for education and propaganda. Early activities of the Diocese included the founding of educational institutions, such as the girls' school St. Helen's Hall (1869), the boys' school Bishop Scott Academy (1870), both in Portland; and the establishment Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland (1875).
Bishops of the Diocese of Oregon include Thomas Fielding Scott (1853-1867), Benjamin Wistar Morris (1880-1906), Charles Scadding (1906-1914), Walter Taylor Sumner (1914-1935), Benjamin Dunlap Dagwell (1936-1958), James Walmsley Frederic Carman (1958-1974), Matthew Paul Bigliardi (1974-1985), and Robert Louis Ladehoff (1985-). In 2001, the number of congregations in the diocese was seventy-seven.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
Records include: papers and clippings of former Bishops and Diocese officials; Diocese of Oregon Scrapbook (1914-1935); Diocese of Oregon 125th Anniversary (1976); date book of Bishop Charles Scadding (1906-1914); seal of the Diocese of Oregon (1925); Board of Missions minutes (1906-1911); missionary convocations (1870-1880); Oregon Clericus minutes and correspondence (1919-1929); Diocesan Auxiliary minutes (1892-1913); Women's Auxiliary annual reports (1861-1930); and Good Samaritan Hospital scrapbook (1894-1936).
There are church parish news clippings and ephemera including those for Trinity Church in Portland. Records also include school materials, such as those for the Bishop Scott Academy (1887-1894, 1916-1920) and St. Helen's Hall. Bishop files cover bishops Thomas Fielding Scott, Benjamin Wistar Morris, Charles Scadding (1874-1911), Walter Taylor Sumner, Benjamin Dunlap Dagwell, James W. F. Carman, and Matthew P. Bigliardi, although the bulk of the materials relate to Bishops Morris, Scadding and Sumner. Bishops' materials include correspondence, biographical materials, clippings, scrapbooks, ephemera, and the diary of Bishop Scadding.
Microfilm contains records of churches in the Missionary District of Eastern Oregon, mostly dating from the 1940s through the 1960s. Also included is microfilm of records of churches in Portland, Newport, Oakland, Sellwood, and the office of the Diocese of Oregon.

Series G: Microfilmed Records, 1882-1967Return to Top
Reels 1-3 contain records of churches in the Missionary District of Eastern Oregon. These were filmed as part of a project begun by the Oregon State Archives and assumed by the Oregon Historical Society in 1967. The original inventory to these reels of film stated: "Most of the volumes filmed here have been filmed before, through and including entries to March, 1964. In many instances this microfilm duplicates portions filmed earlier, especially in the case of the 'Communicants' sections of parish registers. In others (confirmations, baptisms, marriages, registers of church services, etc.) it picks up entries at approximately March, 1964, where the earlier film left off. At the request of the Bishop's office, Missionary District of Eastern Oregon, all entries in the four record volumes of St. James's church, Milton-Freewater, 1944-1967, have been filmed."
Reels 4-5 contain records of Episcopal churches in Newport, Oakland, Portland, and Sellwood, as well as records of the Diocese of Oregon. These records were microfilmed in January of 1967 by the Oregon Historical Society from original volumes on loan from the Diocesan Library, 11800 SW Military Lane, Portland, Or.
