The Clatsop County His- torical Society, in partner- ship with the Oregon His- torical Society, presents a pictorial history of the state of Oregon — from James Cook’s early coastal forays in 1778 to the construction of the St. Johns Bridge in Portland in 1931. This free event is part of the historical society’s annu- al meeting and will be held at the Liberty Theater at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 13. Comprised of approx- imately 100 glass lantern slides, this show was origi- nally put together as a public educational program by the Colonial Dames of Ameri- ca in approximately 1935. Matthew Cowan, archivist of moving images and pho- tography at the Oregon His- torical Society, will project the images using a Victor Stereopticon projector (circa 1915). Doug Kenck-Crispin, of Kick Ass Oregon History, will use the original notes to narrate the slides. Clatsop County Histor- ical Society is an indepen- dent 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of Clatsop County Oregon and the surrounding area. The society operates the Flavel House Museum, the Heri- tage Museum, the Oregon Film Museum, and the Up- pertown Firefighters Muse- um.
