Research Flashbacks
Given the approach of this Friday’s rally in support of the Oregon Historical Society Research Library, take a look back at the results of my own use of the Library’s resources. First, there’s Revisiting the Great Light Way, in which I pulled together everything I’d learned about the illuminated arches which once crisscrossed intersections along SW Third in downtown Portland. Second, there’s my backgrounder on The Finger (scroll to the bottom), a zine published during World War II by Swan Island shipyard workers, which I’d discovered at a local bookstore.
