Oregon Vital Statistics are NOT in Salem! They are located at 800 North East Oregon in Portland. They are on the second floor. It is about three blocks south of the Lloyd Center.. If you prefer to ride the MAX while here, you can get off the Max at the Lloyd Center station and walk through the parkto the south and it is accross the street. There is no finer love anywhere than that between a man and a woman!

August Sullivan, excuse us! The original question was about existence of death certificates in 1890s. The follow up was about ARCHIVES which is in Salem. The State Archives has the original death certificates up to 1956. State Vital Statistics office does not have them. The yearly batch is transferred from there to Archives prior to the start of the following year, per law. Nothing was asked about going to State Vital Statistics office. W.
