Abstract

Sice its founding, the Oregon Historical Society (OHS) has served as the state’s collective memory, preserving evidence from the past and making it accessible through exhibitions, publications, and programs. To commemorate this anniversary year, OHS developed an exhibition, Our Unfinished Past: The Oregon Historical Society at 125, that explores significant moments in the organization’s history as well as ongoing work to further its mission. In this exhibit essay, Curator of Exhibitions Megan Lallier-Barron describes for readers how the exhibit explores the many people who have “shaped and re-shaped OHS,” and that work has “has woven a thoroughly complicated history of Oregon.”
