Depression-Era Scrip in Oregon State Library Collection
6 Pins
Depression-Era Scrip in Oregon State Library Collection / During the Depression in Oregon, many municipalities, organizations, and businesses issued local scrip. Since local banks were failing and there was a shortage of currency, local measures were taken to insure the continuation of trade & commerce. Scrip was issued in many different forms and the examples we hold include sheepskin and buckskin, as well as paper. A big thanks to our former State Librarian, Harriet Long, who in 1933 asked local libraries to send samples to the State Library.
