What is the Oregon Blue Book? It’s the Oregon fact book and almanac published every two years since 1911 by the Secretary of State’s office. It contains everything you ever wanted to know about Oregon’s economy, executive, legislative & judicial branches, election history, state history, public education, all 242 cities and 36 counties, and government finance. The Almanac section lists facts such as highest mountains, longest rivers, state bird, state shell, Oregon’s Olympic medal winners and renewable energy plants, and so much more.

The on-line Oregon Blue Book: http://bluebook.state.or.us is updated daily and has enhanced resources for teachers and school children – take a look at the Kids tab and the Notable Oregonians section under the Facts tab.

Teachers tell me they use the hard copy version along with the on-line version to teach students how to do research. The Elections section is popular for this.

Act now before they’re all gone!
