If you run into broken links from this blog to documents on our website, the Washington County (Oregon) Law Library, we apologize.

When websites are upgraded, when webpages are moved, when links rot, we all know what happens.  Sigh.

We all try our best to clean up links, but sometimes we just need to move on, move forward.  (Maybe that was what James Joyce and Shakespeare decided too, when they looked at their published manuscripts and noticed typos or, heaven forbid, awkward sentences.  I bet they both said, “let it go, let’s just move on.  What’s past is prologue.” Well, it could have happened!)

The initial phase of the program will concentrate on newspapers published between 1860 and 1922, with a goal of approximately 150,000 pages freely available online in the first two years (2009-2011).”
