I highly recommend checking out the Portland Metro and Oregon Research Guide, designed to help students doing local research projects about local issues by providing resources related to metro Portland and Oregon. Here's what you'll find in it:

• Government - Links to city, Metro, county, and state government data and information.
• News - Find information on local issues from news media sources.
• Maps & Neighborhoods - Local and state map sources and individual Portland neighborhood data.
