On This Day in Oregon History

March 2, 2015 by Dave Leave a Comment

This Day in Portland and Oregon HistoryAt some point in 2010 I realized that with my Multnomah County library card I had access to The Oregonian Historical Archive, among other research databases and sites. That, plus an obsession with Oregon history, gave me the bright idea to write a “Day in History” post for every day in 2011.

Naturally, and innocently, I started on January 1st. Ends up writing the pieces was the easy part – for most posts I didn’t delve into the topic too deeply. But the project ended up to be much more of a time sink than I had anticipated. Some days it was easy to find a historical event to write about, other days it took me literally hours to find something. But thanks to my obsessive compulsive tendencies I completed the task, with my final post on December 31, 2011.

Nowadays I don’t have time for such an endeavor – what with twin toddlers and all – but at the beginning of each month this year I will be cataloging each month’s posts. Here’s what I have so far:

  • January
  • February
  • March
