| The Oregon Historical Society has announced that its Research Library and Museum will reopen to the public on Saturday, September 20, 2003. New hours for the museum galleries and library are to be announced. The OHS Museum and Research Library have been closed for construction and renovation since fall 2002. The reopening will be the public's first chance to see the interior of the new OHS entrance building and to view a new OHS exhibit, "Oregon History A to Z." The new exhibit will tell the story of Oregon through artifacts and artwork selected from sixty-four affiliated historical institutions throughout the state. |

Inventory of Alaskan Film, Video, and Audio Recordings
|
|
|
The Alaska Moving Image Preservation Association (AMIPA), a 501(c)(3)
organization, is conducting an inventory of Alaskan film, video,
and audio recordings — a project known as Voices & Images
of Alaska (VIA). Much of the material related to Alaska's history
is physically located outside of the state, so part of the effort
includes reaching out to cultural organizations in the Lower-48
and beyond. The VIA project is funded in part by a matching grant
from Save America's Treasures, a public-private partnership
between the National Park Service and the National Trust for Historic
Preservation. To contact the VIA project, call (907) 279-8433, e-mail
via@amipa.org
, or write Voices and Images of Alaska, c/o AMIPA, 1325 Primrose
St., Anchorage, AK 99508.
