Historical Note
The Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) is the primary state agency that provides assistance and advocacy to Oregon residents and communities. Created in 1971, DHS was initially called the Department of Human Resources and covered a spectrum of areas, such as employment, housing, corrections, youth and health services. Over the years, many areas have branched off into their own departments. In 2001, the Oregon Department of Human Resources was re-named as the Oregon Department of Human Services. Currently, DHS primarily serves children, families, the elderly, and people with disabilities. In 2009, DHS transferred many of their health services over to the recently established Oregon Health Authority. The Oregon Department of Human Services Published Materials (Ken Rosenberg Collection) consists primarily of public health related publications.
