“We’ve been dabbling in digitizing
more of our collection and making
more resources available online,” Vai-
ley Oehlke, director of libraries for
Multnomah County, told The Skanner.
“But then we wanted to do something
that was broader and more connected
to the community,” she added. “We’ve
been talking a lot about how to cele-
brate the history of the African Amer-
icans in Portland — and more broadly
across the state – and this seemed like a
really great way to do that.”
In partnership with Know Your City,
the Oregon Historical Society and Van-
port Mosaic, the Multnomah County Li-
brary also received enormous support
from the City of Portland Archives,
which contributed 175 digital images
and documents from its archival collec-
tions.
“People have an immediate connec-
tion to photographs,” said Mary Han-
sen, reference archivist at the City of
Portland Archive & Records Center.
“Our goal for the materials selected for
the ‘Our Story’ project is to highlight
resources available in the city archives
that people might not know exist.”
Those materials include images of
numerous community events, neigh-
