The Ancestor Hunt regularly adds and updates new collection links, as well as searches for and fixes broken links.

______________________________________
Oregon has state-wide online collections and indexes for searching historical newspapers. Several states use the Library of Congress Chronicling America site as their main central online site for searching old newspapers and currently, Oregon has quite a few newspapers available on that site. There are many free online newspapers also available on other sites and there are collections available on subscription sites. Below is a list of where the titles are stored and the link so that you can access them.
There are over 1,500 newspapers that have been published in the Beaver State – certainly not all of them are searchable online. But there are several that are indeed available. So go for it – find your Oregon ancestors and all the interesting articles that capture the stories of their lives.
Please note that I have not always entered the dates included in the collections, as I suspect they will change as more items are digitized. Also, I suspect some of these links may change over time – so if there is a dead link – please use your favorite search engine to find their new location.
