Open your mind to Oregon!

The Oregon Encyclopedia is an authoritative compendium of information on Oregon people, places, events, and institutions. Over the next several months, culminating in 2009 as part of Oregon's State Sesquicentennial, the Encyclopedia will grow to contain thousands of entries on Oregon history and culture written by knowledgeable authors, reviewed by experts, and meticulously checked to ensure accuracy.

The Oregon Encyclopedia is an exciting new way for Oregonians to learn about all things Oregon, from the expected to the unexpected. All Oregonians are invited to participate by suggesting entries, writing submissions, and attending community meetings.
