The Genealogical Forum of Oregon is a libraries-focused organization based in Portland, Oregon, staffed entirely by volunteers. It houses a collection of about 50,000 holdings with resources that cover regional, national, and worldwide genealogical research, supporting individuals who are tracing family histories. The organization operates seven days a week and offers nearly 200 free classes and special interest groups annually to assist researchers, despite having no paid staff. The group provides a venue and programming for genealogical study while managing a library that serves people seeking ancestry information. A recent development noted is that the organization temporarily closed its Portland library in early 2020, with reopening or further updates provided through its website.
