Themes centered specifically on rural agricultural practices and histories appear less frequently, possibly overshadowed by urban and social histories that resonate more with current societal discussions. - Military History:
While military events such as the Civil War have been traditionally significant in Oregon’s history, recent publications suggest a declining emphasis on military narratives in favor of social and cultural histories. - Settler Colonialism:
