Have you seen our volunteers hard at work upstairs at the Lake Oswego Public Library? Been wondering what they're up to?
OHC Archivist Mark Browne has trained several library volunteers in the important work of cataloguing, archiving, storing, and organizing LOPL's historical collection. This extensive work will make it easier to locate items within the library's collection, with the end goal to digitize both the LOPL historical collection AND the OHC historical collection. New photos, documents, and other artifacts will be brought to the light for the first time in our town's history.
Working together, we are able to build on past work by both organizations to create a new, thriving historical hub in Lake Oswego! Both historical collections will be digitized, which will be a resource that will be accessible to anyone, anywhere.
