Historical NoteReturn to Top
Mining and geology were among the original subjects authorized to be taught at Washington Agricultural College and School of Science (now Washington State University). The School of Mines was established during the reorganization of the college in 1917 under the new college president, Ernest O. Holland. The first school year began with L. O. Howard as Dean of the School of Mines. The Department of Geology remained a part of the College of Sciences and Arts until 1920, when it was incorporated into the new School of Mines and Geology. When Dean Howard resigned in 1926, Arthur Eilert Drucker (1877-1949) was made the Dean of the School of Mines and Geology, a position which he retained until 1946. In 1946 the name of the school was shortened to the School of Mines. At that time the school consisted of the Department of Geology, the Department of Mining and Process Metallurgy, and the Department of Physical Metallurgy. In 1956, Mining became a department within Engineering and Mineral Technology. The program was discontinued at the end of the 1960s; WSU’s last degree in Mining Engineering was issued in 1970.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The majority of the descriptive information presented below has been taken from several lists of Publications of the Mining Experiment Station and School of Mines, and may contain slight inaccuracies. Where MASC holds these items, they can be found in MASC's University Publications collection at WSU 163 (note that the University Publications collection also holds items not on this list, and only holds most, but not all, of the items included on this list - this is a compilation of publications, not a list of holdings). We have updated the original lists here to include publications released after those dates.

Arrangement
The materials are broken into three series: Bulletins, Information Circulars, and Reports. Each series is organized by its original numbering, which is loosely chronological.
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. This particular series was processed by University Archivist Mark O'English and University of Idaho graduate student Timothy Mace in August and September of 2010.
