Collections & Resources
The library has a number of collections, both physical and digital, that we maintain and share with the community.
We are also grateful for the cooperative relationships we have with local and state historic organizations.
Historic Photo Database (original) Thousands of high-resolution photos from the late 1800s to today.
Digital Archive (new) Will ultimately include all original Historic Photos in addition to documents and Oswego Heritage Council collections.
The History File collection consists of assorted newspaper clippings, documents, and ephemera that relate to Lake Oswego and its residents. It's a great resource for learning more about local people, places, and events.
In addition to the library's wealth of local history materials, here you'll find a list of other organizations working to preserve local history.
