Today, I made my third and final trip to the Oregon Historical Society to dig through archived photos and menus from old P-town diners dating all the way back to the 30's. I gathered some great materials, and got to look at more pictures historic Portland than I could've ever imagined. I highly highly highly recommend the research library at the OHS for anyone who is doing a research project or is just curious about the past. I know it sounds nerdy, but its super enriching--from articles, to menus, to photos, to portraits to maps. Plus it's really fun to snoop in on all of the interesting things the other researchers are looking into. And only $5 for a student? What a steal!
