A Treasure Trove of Oregon and Pacific Northwest history-The Oregon Historical Quarterly

Where can I find the answers to the following questions?

• information about the Oregon Steam Navigation Company.


• a book review about the title Oregon's Architectural Heritage.


• information about a film called The Outlaw of the Wilderness.


• information about Nels Peterson who was a Portland attorney.


• who was peu-peu-mox-mox.


• what was The Shattuck School.

Answers to all of the above queries can be researched in The Oregon Historical Quarterly,(OHQ), a peer-reviewed, public history journal that has been published continuously since 1900 by The Oregon Historical Society. This quarterly carries well-researched and well-written history about Oregon and the Pacific Northwest for both scholars and the general public. The OHQ is one of the largest state historical society journals in the United States.
The Beaverton City Library owns the OHQ back to 1900 when it was first published. Bound Reference volumes of the quarterly can be found adjacent to the periodical area on the 2nd floor of the library. The library also provides access to indexes that can be used to find information in the quarterly. Some of these indexes along with full text content of the OHQ can also be found at the Oregon Historical Society's webpage, www.ohs.org/research/quarterly/index.cfm.
Enjoy your research.
