HISTORIC SITES DATABASE NOW ONLINE
The State Historic Preservation Office has made its master database of historic buildings and sites in Oregon available online. There are almost 45,000 records in the database, including National Register properties, surveys, and inventory records.
“This is still a rudimentary version,” said Roger Roper, the deputy state historic preservation officer. “There are many features we will be adding over the coming weeks, including the ability to run more complex searches and printout both site-specific data and summary data for groups of buildings. Please read the Disclaimer page for details about the limitations and the ‘coming attractions.’”
They are interested in your feedback, so please send your comments to ORsurvey.feedback@state.or.us.

Finding Aid Additions: July 2008 We’re starting a new feature on our blog, designed to let you know when we add to our existing online resources and descriptions of our collections. Additionally, and as a means of providing some background information, we thought we’d share a bit about or arrangement and description process.
In our effort to get as many collections described and online, we create collection level descriptions for most collections. What is a collection level description? It means that you’re not likely to find a detailed inventory; it’s more in line with the levels of arrangement and description suggested by Greene and Meissner in their “More Product, Less Process” article. This means that you’ll find a note following many of the titles in this list that tells you whether the finding aid is a preliminary guide or in its final form.
For example, in this round
In the list that follows, you’ll also notice that we give you a link to both the NWDA guide and the locally hosted PDF—you choose your view, both are the same!
Finally, when we create a new finding aid, we load the file to the Northwest Digital Archives, provide a locally hosted PDF on our site, and produce MARC catalog records that are accessible through the OSU Libraries catalog, Summit, and Worldcat.
For July, the following 13 finding aids were completed:
