Abstract

The Oregon Explorer™ (www.oregonexplorer.info) strives to support informed decisions and actions by people concerned with Oregon's natural resources and environment. The Oregon Explorer's multi-media environment integrates archived digital documents, mapping and decision support tools, and finding aids for specific natural resource issues and topics. This paper presents the chronology of this purposeful and place-based natural resources digital library and the process which has evolved for new portal development within its framework.
