Historical NoteReturn to Top

Washington State University’s first student-published newspaper, the College Record, was printed monthly during the 1892-1893 school year. The Evergreen began publication in spring of 1895 and remains in publication. It became known as the Daily Evergreen in 1979. The Chinook is the WSU yearbook, which was first published in 1899. It was produced by the Junior Class until 1926, when the Associated Students of the State College of Washington took control of publishing the yearbook. Since 1974 it has been the responsibility of Student Publishing / Student Media.

Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Geoffrey W. Crimmins was raised in Moscow, ID, and attended University of Idaho from 1989-1994, graduating with a B.S. in Communications (with an emphasis in photography). As the UI newspaper was not published in summer, during the summer after high school (1989) he volunteered as a photographer for the Evergreen, after which he was hired for a “student” position through September of 1990. In 1990 he was hired as a photographer, later photography editor, for the Idahonian / Moscow-Pullman Daily News, a position he held until 2020.

Related Materials

WSU MASC holds a large collection of Evergreen photographs, focused on 1986-2002, as Washington State University Office of Student Media Evergreen and Chinook Photographs, 1921-2007 (PC 184).

WSU MASC holds a number of series of photographs which document the campus and its students, taken either by Student Media and its predecessor, 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).

WSU 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.
