Abstract
The personal computer has revolutionized geographic name research through its ability to store and manipulate vast quantities of data. Oregon has made considerable use of the information made available through the Geographic Names Information System and has combined the basic data with a program designed to aid in researching the origins and history of Oregon names. Procedures have been developed which allow the display of various types of names and naming patterns tailored to specific onomastic interests or the interests of researchers in other disciplines.
