This month’s social meeting is on Monday, October 17th, from 5:30 PM, at Dig A Pony, 736 SE Grand Avenue at Morrison Street. Dig A Pony is a new bar in a venerable old building; their website shows a photograph of it in the 1930s when it was a drugstore; see it at http://digaponyportland.com/.

New hat and snappy gown? Step out to Dig A Pony on Monday and show ’em off! Don’t just sit on the stoop!

The social will give us a chance to meet and greet new and potential NHN associates, catch up on one another’s projects and interests, and discuss the recent Portland Archives Crawl. We’d also like to hear from associates about their professional development, and what NHN as an organization might do in that arena.

What: Special Screening of Finding David Douglas

When: June 25 at 1 p.m

Where:Laurelhurst Theater, 2735 E. Burnside Street, Portland, OR

Local historian and filmmaker (and NHN associate) Lois Leonard directed and produced this 56-minute film about the scientific adventures of the intrepid 19th century Scots botanist and plant hunter David Douglas. Viewers will tap his roots in Scotland and England; trek along through California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia; sweep across the Canadian Rockies to remote York Factory on the Hudson Bay shore; and ponder his mysterious final destination on the Big Island of Hawaii. The film focuses on Douglas’s groundbreaking contributions to science – the Douglas fir and many more plant and animal species are named for him – and details his relations within the multi-cultural community of the Hudson’s Bay Company and the many Indian tribes he visited across Western North America. The movie was created with support from the Oregon Cultural Heritage Commission and this viewing is offered through the Northwest History Network. Regular Laurelhurst admission ($3) applies.

Seating is limited.

Special thanks to the Laurelhurst Theater and to the Architectural Heritage Center for technical support.
