OGS is a FamilySearch Affiliate Library
The Oregon Genealogical Society is a FamilySearch Affiliate Library, which means you can access online records that are not available from home at our library on one of our patron computers, or bring your laptop to the library. Most records with a camera and triangle icon are accessible at the OGS Library, but some may only be viewable at a FamilySearch Center or the FamilySearch Library.
LIBRARY CLOSED on Saturday, January 31.
Saturday, March 7, 2026
Our 2026 Mini-Seminar is scheduled for March 7th, with Ron Chan presenting two sessions on "Embracing Technology to Tell Family History Stories."
