Elaine Cohen founded the Oregon Wine Press (originally called the Oregon Wine Calendar) with Richard Hopkins in 1984. Cohen served as the executive secretary. In 1990, Cohen received the Outstanding Service Award from the Oregon Wine Board; she later founded the Oregon chapter of Women for Winesense in 1992. Cohen was involved with the publication for 22 years until it was acquired by the News-Register Publishing Co. in McMinnville, Oregon. The Oregon Wine Press was created to promote the Oregon Wine industry through publications of events and activities.

This collection compiles informational resources, details and events chronologically. This collection contains photographs, negatives and slides from events over a period of 20 years in the Oregon wine industry. Images in this collection cover the Oregon wine community and the nation’s wine industry. The images in this collection were created to be part of the Oregon Wine Press publication, of which Elaine Cohen was a cofounder.
