    A - Te ioy of h Poa DithTic Corps 0f Egirteers ii 871 1969 U. S. ARMY ENGINEER DISTRICT, PORTLAND CORPS OF ENGINEERS PORTLAND, OREGON Printed: March 1970 This history of the Portland District was researched, and edited by Henry R. Richmond!!!, a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley where he was a history major. FOREWORD Since arriving in Portland in July 1967 to become District Engineer, I have had many opportunities to acquaint myself with the long, colorful history of the Portland District. One hundred years ago, the work of the District consisted of small, simple, almost quaint efforts to improve navigation. Pulling snags from river waterways, cutting a bar to seventeen feet with a primitive old bucket dredge, or dynamiting rocks out of the Columbia River are repre- sentative of the work done in the early days. By comparison, the massive, complex dams built by the District in modern times have made significant changes in the Columbia and Willamette river valleys. The story of how and why the District has progressed from small dredging and snagging activities to a great multiple purpose construction program is a very interesting one. Even more worthwhile is the story of how the work of the District has contributed to the welfare of the people of the Northwest. As this history explains, the work of the Corps helped to open up the Northwest. The prosperity of Portland and the Willamette Valley depended in large part on the early navigation projects of the Portland District. The Oregon Coast has been opened up to shipping by large jetty and dredging projects.

Small talk among strangers revealed that of the ten Tpeople at the table, two of us were librarians from the Willamette Valley—me and OLA Quarterly general editor, Kari Hauge. I was there with members of the Museum Advisory Committee from the Museum of Natural and Cultural History and shared my thoughts on the commonality of missions and challenges of libraries and museums. Being a good general editor, Kari convinced me to develop the idea into this issue of the OLA Quarterly. Libraries and museums share institutional missions of preservation, access, education, and outreach. All of us, librarians and museum professionals alike, are committed to preserving documents, artifacts, photographs, books, and digital files that comprise our state’s cultural history, while at the same time honoring our core mission to use and allow access to these documents and ob- jects to enrich and educate fellow Oregonians.
