GFO Open House: Call for Presentations

Call for PresentationsMarch 2026 marks the 80th anniversary of the Genealogical Forum of Oregon! We welcome everyone to join us at our annual Open House where we will mark this milestone among others. As in past years, this year’s Open House will feature a week of free presentations at GFO’s regional genealogical library, and online.

Open House takes place March 15-21.  Presentations are provided free of charge as a service to the genealogical community.  
We invite speakers and groups to provide a presentation, panel or workshop on any subject of genealogical interest. We are particularly interested in talks that highlight resources available in the Pacific Northwest, “getting-started” talks aimed at novices embarking on a new locale or ethnicity, and lectures on methodology.

This is a great opportunity to publicize your genealogical or historical group, or introduce the genealogical community to an under-appreciated resource.
Please submit a proposed title and/or brief description to openhouse@gfo.org.
