IMPORTANT SURVEY!

The Oregon Heritage Commission has launched an assessment of the status of Oregon heritage and archaeological resources, including the threats they face. The assessment will provide a fact-based foundation for new long-range, statewide strategies for heritage.

In addition to compiling existing data found in diverse locations, the assessment includes online and downloadable surveys. Among those being surveyed are archaeologists, archivists, museums, cemeteries, certified local governments, and preservationists.
