Arrangement
The photographs are foldered in sets and organized primarily with preservation in mind, with the more commonly used (Pullman/Whitman regions) above the less often used. Pullman-region images are first, listed chronologically, then Whitman County, again chronologically, followed by the remaining two folders, with the more fragile Columbia River photographs located beneath the others.
Location of Collection
(Internal Use Only) Due to their size, these photographs are located in the oversized map cases.Acquisition Information
The aerial photographs in this collection were primarily remnants - acquired as parts of other collections or as individual unaccessioned gifts over a number of years.
Processing Note
This collection was processed in December, 2011 by University Archivist Mark O'English.
