Historical Beaverton Newspapers 1923-present

The library has a collection of microfilm of the historical Beaverton Newspapers.
As it turns out not all of them are listed in our catalog. This blog is to inform you of the holdings we do have, and the titles over time:

Beaverton Review
12/25/1923 to 4-18-1941

Beaverton Enterprise
3/17/1927 to 1-26-1951

Beaverton Valley News
2-2-1951 to 5/24/1962

Beaverton Valley Times
1963- present

One other cool feature is the abity to scan microfilm into pdf and then have it as a file on your portable storage device, aka thumb drive.

The tax man cometh...

Collage of income tax information
We do not yet have federal tax forms but expect to have them towards the end of January.  The forms are currently available for download and printing at the IRS website:  www.irs.gov .  State tax forms are available at www.oregon.gov/DOR.  The library no longer receives state forms for distribution.
