WSU MASC holds a number of series of photographs which document the campus and its students, taken either by Student Media and its predecessors, or by WSU’s Photo Services and its predecessors. Rather than listing them all here, we’d suggest looking at the list of the MASC’s photograph collections, as well as at the unprocessed collections (accessions).

MASC has a digital Evergreens collection, as well as a digital Chinooks collection. Each collection is complete, excepting a few Evergreen issues where no known copy still exists, from the first issue up to the point at which the individual collections stop.
