GFO Open House 2025
Call for Presentations

March 2025 marks the 78th anniversary of the Genealogical Forum of Oregon and its annual Open House. As in past years, this year’s Open House will feature a week of free presentations at GFO's regional genealogical library, and online.

This year's Open House takes place March 23-29. Presentations are provided free of charge as a service to the genealogical community.

We invite speakers and groups to provide a presentation 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 unique collection or a specialized group.

Please submit a proposed title and/or brief description to openhouse@gfo.org
