    I'm looking for information regarding the baby selling scandal that was going on in 1930. The women involved was named Lena Reynolds Schaefer. She was commited to The Oregon State Hospital. My mother is one of the babies.

    I recommend you submit this question to the Oregon libraries digital reference service, called L-net. The website is: http://www.oregonlibraries.net/

    I bet there will be librarians on that service that can answer this question.

    Can I access the Oregonian archives with a Clackamas county library card?

  4. No, but you can possibly get a Multnomah County Library card.

    Clackamas and Washington County residents can get a Multnomah County library card (and vice versa). Call Multnomah County Library at 503-988-5234 to find out what documentation you need to take to a Multnomah County Library to get that card.
