Spanish: Los Orígenes Hispanos de Oregón documenta más de 250 años de la historia temprana de el Territorio de Oregón, gracias a documentos producidos por los oficiales y la tripulación de expediciones navales hispanas Se trata de una obra de especial trascendencia, no solo por documentar un periodo poco conocido de la historia de Oregón y de los EE.UU., sino por ser la primera obra académica acerca de la historia de Oregón que se publica en español y en inglés en el país.

English: The Hispanic Origins of Oregon documents more than 250 years of the early history of the Oregon Territory, thanks to documents produced by officers and crew members of Hispanic naval expeditions. It is a work of particular historical relevance, as it not only documents a little-known period in the history of Oregon and the United States, but is also the first academic work about the history of Oregon to be published in Spanish and English in the nation.

Note: The original work, Los orígenes hispanos de Oregón, was translated into English by WOU students in Jaime Marroquin’s Spanish courses, and the English translation was edited by WOU students in Lars Soderlund’s Editing course.

There will be a reception following in the Willamette Room from 5:00 to 6:30 pm. We will have the book's author, historian Olga Gutiérrez Rodríguez, as a guest of honor.
