If you’ve never visited the Oregon State Archives, here’s your chance to go behind the scenes.  Most of these documents are not online and may never be online (at least in our lifetimes).
You can also take the State Archives web tour!
Combine your visit to the Archives with some other Salem treasures, such as the Hallie Ford Museum of Art.

DEADLINE for registering in Oregon for the November 2011, is October 18th, 2011 (registration deadline is 21 days before an election).

But ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS verify registration and voting deadlines with your local election office.  Local elections are on their own schedules!  Visit your county elections office.
E.g. In Washington County, October 18th, 2011, is the registration deadline for the Nov. 8th election, but notice other election deadlines. (You can see other Washington County election deadlines by clicking on their Calendar of Events.) And, they even have a Voter Bill of Rights!
