Washington State University Publications: Athletics Football Programs, 1906-2023

Acquisition Information

The “WSU Publications” collections are an accumulation of materials transferred to Washington State University Libraries’ Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections on a nearly daily basis. Some items are transferred directly by the University’s printing department. Many other materials have been forwarded by the Library’s serials cataloging unit. Other items come directly from university departments, and a significant number of publications have been donated by individuals. Most materials in it have no accession records.

Processing Note

The "WSU Publications" collection is an effort to amass significant or representative publications of the University. The effort began in 1955. Until 1977, the publications were managed as part of the university archives. In that year, office records were separated from the publications in order to follow the spirit of the Washington State public records laws. The separation was all but complete; nonetheless, small quantities of non-published materials, records, remain among the WSU Publications. In 1970-1975, Library employees prepared a library card catalog for the WSU Publications collection. That catalog was transcribed and adapted by Tyler Evans and Jeff Zundel in 2005-2006. In March, 2011, University Archivist Mark O’English and student Timothy Mace created this list of football programs.

MASC holds a large quantity of football materials, including but not limited to other series and items in this WSU Publications set (WSU 31), coaching films from many games (many of which are digitized and available online through the Washington State University Libraries YouTube channel), records of the Athletic Department and its heads, and university photographs collections. However, if you're looking for programs not listed here, we'd suggest that you contact either the WSU Athletic Department or the opposing team for the game you're looking for.
