per.
Library cardholders can now ac-
cess every article, editorial, illustra
tion, photograph and advertisem ent
published in The O regonian betw een
1861 and 1972. By the end o f this year,
the archive will includeall editions up

M ultnom ah C ounty Library is the
only source for free access to this
archive and all associated features.
Previously, total access to this vast
resource for O regon history w as avail
able only by paying a m onthly sub
scription fee to N ew sB ank, the ser
vice provider.
The archive can be searched by
date, keyw ord, era and by several
article types. A rticles can be printed,
e-m ailed and dow nloaded - all for
free. A ccess to this resource, like
m ost o f the library’s electronic re

cardholders and in-library guests. A
library card num ber and PIN is all that
is needed to access the database
from outside o f a library location.
“T he library is com m itted to re
m oving barriers to access for our
patrons,” said D irector o f Libraries,
V ailey O ehlke. “ As the only institu
tion to m ake this invaluable historical
record available to the publ ic for free,
w e believe this resource will benefit
everyone in o u r com m unity, includ
ing students and scholars, fam ilies
researching genealogy, historians,
sports enthusiasts and the sim ply
curious.”
