It also features an almanac, maps, facts about Oregon history and elections, as well as information on the arts, media, and other cultural institutions in Oregon.

Goals and Features

The Oregon Blue Book’s main goal is to help Oregonians understand and access their government and related institutions. Here on our digital Oregon Blue Book we provide the latest information possible with thousands of links to allow for even more as needed. We're constantly searching newspapers, talking with government offices and checking with institutions and others to gather the most up-to-date information for this digital space.

But understanding requires more than directories and links. The Oregon Blue Book is also rich with original content.
