NHN board member James Hillegas did talk to Julie Sabatier of TOL, and gave her our perspective on the situation. Please listen, call, and email during the show. Sometimes they read emails out loud, or even call to follow up. 

Some things that we had discussed trying to emphasize on the show was that the Oregon Historical Society executive director and board need to work with community stakeholders, openly and publicly, to find a sustainable solution for the library — which is a unique, vast resource important not only to historians, but many other people doing research about Oregon and the region. The collections are held in the public trust, and must be accessible and protected by trained archivists and librarians.
