The Oregon Historical Society has developed a series of history videotapes- some filmed during the earliest days of cinema, others produced professionally to tell a specific story. These programs cover a wide range of topics, interests and time periods. Each videotape rents for a two-week period. Videotapes can also be picked up at the Oregon History Center reception desk. A billing statement will be sent after the materials are returned to the Society.
