OHS Welcomes The Skanner Archive
February 8, 2015 |
Established in 1975, The Skanner News Group has advanced the cause of the black press in the Pacific Northwest for almost four decades. While producing a valuable newspaper and online resource, The Skanner has also amassed a trove of photographs documenting the lives, work, and experiences of African Americans in our region. With the donation of that photograph collection to the Oregon Historical Society, the images are now available to researchers and the public.
Join founders Bernie and Bobbie Foster in conversation with OHS Executive Director Kerry Tymchuk to learn about this history and view a selection of the photographs now available at the OHS Research Library.
