An Oregon Government Document (ORDoc) is defined as any "informational matter produced for public distribution or access, originating in or produced by the authority of or at the total or partial expense of any state agency" It exempts some types of public records, including correspondence and interoffice memos.
The State Library also distributes ORDocs to other depository libraries across the state. They must retain all depository documents for a minimum of five years, excluding superseded publications which may be replaced by the newer edition.
