The Archives of the Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Oregon are housed in two rooms in the former Diocesan Offices at 601 Union Street, The Dalles, Oregon. In 2013, the bishop and councils decided to move the diocesan office to Cove, Oregon and transport all the archival records to this location in The Dalles. It is a consolidation of the records in the former historian's office in Cove, Oregon, and the records stored at The Dalles. As you can see by the above picture, they are now housed in appropriate archival containers and the contents were sorted, catalogued, and listed in a database.
It is my intent and mission to continue adding to this collection and to make this fascinating collection of the Mission of Eastern Oregon more accessible. It is not intended to be stored away far from the eyes of interested people. Rather, by using this website, continuing to update and expand the book of Episcopal Mission and Ministry in Eastern Oregon Country, and using other methods and media to be determined, the stories of those who preceded us in the Episcopal Church in Eastern Oregon can be known to any and all. Please use the contact page to contact me with any comments or questions you may have about this site and about the EDEO Archives.
