Welcome to OAKS Digital Archive
The Oaks Archive was created as a living record of the homes, the events, and the personal stories that make up this community and have shaped its history.
Explore STREETS as an index to all the homes in the Oaks. Homes marked there with an icon include personal stories, pictures, and other information. Use BROWSE to look up the names of notable residents, articles related to the Oaks in general, and fascinating stories about the neighborhood’s history, which began in 1924. There is also a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page that provides more information. Most of all we hope you will SUBMIT YOUR STUFF. A neighborhood’s depth and richness are found in the people who live in it. Please add to our treasure with your photos, documents, and anecdotes.
