Full text of important index. In 1992, Michael Shellenbarger published an index to building information in The Portland Daily Abstract as an initial phase of a larger vision to capture architectural information in several early newspapers of Portland, Oregon. According to Shellenbarger, these early newspapers were primary sources of early 20th century building activity in Oregon. They thrived at a time when "the building industry was the dynamic center of economic and cultural life to an extent that is difficult to imagine today, and this building activity was the major emphasis of these papers' six daily issues per week." The Portland Daily Abstract and its kindred newspapers flourished when "Architects were the celebrities of the front page."
