The Oregon State Hospital Museum of Mental Health is located on the grounds of the Oregon State Hospital in Salem, Oregon. A 501(c)3 non-profit organization, the museum interprets the history of the people that lived and worked at the Oregon State Hospital. www.oshmuseum.org
I like the concept but the execution needs work (rough start and faltering read, audible tape recorder clicks, etc.) I've linked to this video off the Wikipedia page on the Oregon Hospital for the Insane that I'm working on.
Thanks for the video. I was so grateful to find this information. I am researching the lives of women committed to the hospital around 1960 to 1965, particularly my mother. Any information you could give regarding what her experience would have been like would be so appreciative. email to fieldviolet@gmail.com. Thanks again!
