The Willamette Valley Genealogy Society meets in that building and has access to those old materials. Or did have. I haven't been able to get to meetings so am not up on the latest development.The state is in the middle of reorganizing that library. The WVGS will do research forb you for a small fee. You can reach them at: http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/GRES/pages/genealogy.aspx The WVGS welcomes visitors to their meetings. The next meeting is this Saturday, July 12 at 11am. The research resources are open most of the day and help is available. If you can go and decide to do so, the only access those meeting days is through the back door of the library.
