Tips on How to Use Our Resources
Research options
View the
Web tour of the Oregon State Archives for complete details about research
options, services, and other important information about using records
at the Archives. The tour also describes costs associated with ordering
individual documents or case files - View description.
In general, more in-depth researchers have three main options:
The
most comprehensive, timely, and cost-effective research is still conducted
by planning a visit to the Archives Building in Salem. This makes all of the
Archives resources available on a nearly immediate basis. Photocopies are
$0.25 per page self service.
If
the researcher is unable to travel to the Archives Building, limited research
and copy services by our staff are available. Research will be conducted at
$40 per hour for up to four hours per request. Any photocopying by Archives
staff costs $0.75 per page.
Several
private, fee-based researchers are willing to work to specifications. The Archives is not affiliated
with these researchers and does not take responsibility for any agreements
made. Contact the reference room for more information.
Ordering images
Please note that many images in this exhibit are from other repositories.
Any
image shown in the exhibit that has a citation ending with "OSA" is
available for purchase from the Oregon State Archives. Some
of the images
were scanned from original publications with less than ideal photographic
or graphic characteristics. The cost for obtaining a digital image is
$20 for Oregon residents and $25 for all others. Contact
us to order digital
copies or for information about obtaining copies as photographic negatives
or prints.
Any
image lacking a citation ending with "OSA" is not available
for copy from the Oregon State Archives. Please contact the source cited
or general sources for copies. Images lacking any citation are commonly
available on the Web.
