About Video Series

The board of directors of SDOP has approved the creation of a committee which will focus on the creation of videos which will aide in achieving our mission of educating the citizens of the area previously known as the Oregon Territory. The committee has elected areas of focus for our video library. The videos will all be posted to the SDOP website, oregonsdop.org. The themes are listed below:

• Living Reflections: Oregon Pioneer stories related by a living senior descendant member of the pioneer’s family.
• My Oregon Territory Historic Getaways: trips around the old Oregon Territory, visiting sites of historical significance.
• Pioneer Kitchen: Pioneer kitchen recipes prepared by SDOP members who want share by video their favorite recipes from the Oregon Trail.
• Oregon Pioneer Storybooks: videos of readings of children’s storybooks showing the journey and settlement of the Oregon Territory.
• SDOP Events: videos of SDOP events such as banquets, picnics, or parades.

Videos can be created by the SDOP Video Production Committee or submitted by individual members. There are a few criteria that needs to be adhered to:

• Maximum video size 1 GB maximum.
• No copyrighted music or other material.
• Videos can be created by using video materials or photos used to create a video with appropriate software.
