Historic Reference Materials
 The
Umatilla National Forest silviculture library has an archive of
historical reference materials. With few exceptions, only items
produced before 1950 are included in the history archive.
The archive contains materials for the entire Blue Mountains,
not just the Umatilla National Forest. This decision was made because
national forest boundaries have evolved through time; much of the
south end of the Umatilla National Forest was previously included
in the Wallowa-Whitman or Malheur National Forests.

NF history website
In 1995, the Umatilla National Forest decided to transcribe commonly
requested reports so they could be offered in an electronic format.
Eventually, all of the transcribed documents will be available
from this internet site. 
With the advent of ecosystem management, ecosystem analysis at
the watershed scale, the historical range of variability, and
related concepts, there is increased emphasis on using historical
information. Historical maps depicting vegetation conditions are
valuable for comparing current or existing conditions with reference
conditions.
 Historic
Photographs
Historical photos dating back to the early 1900's depict the
lives of forest rangers as well as landscapes of northeastern
Oregon and southeastern Washington. Most of these photos were
scanned at a resolution of 300 dpi. Below are the known photographers
for this collection. For photos where the photographers are unknown,
they are organized by subject. The year next to the name is the
timeframe their photos were taken. Photos are added daily so be
sure and check this site often.
