Museum Historical Reports
1979-1981
2 containers.
2 linear feet of shelf space.
33 items.
Research reports and papers on pioneer
life and farming in the Palouse prepared for a proposed "living history farm,"
the Palouse Hill Farm Museum.
Collection materials are in
English.
The historical reports of the University of Idaho Museum resulted from
research on a wide range of subject pertaining to the social history of the
Palouse region of eastern Washington and northern Idaho. The reports formed the
initial stages of an attempt by the University of Idaho Museum to "develop an
outdoor branch concerned with the early history of the Palouse region." "The
Palouse Hills Farm Museum," as it was tentatively named, was designed to
illustrate farming as it existed in the region during the second decade of the
20th century, the pioneer settlement of the territorial period and "the
farmtown relationship up to the first years of the Great Depression."
The historical reports of the University of Idaho Museum consist of
research papers written on various topics concerning life and agriculture in
the Palouse region.
At the time of distribution the papers were arranged topically under
such headings as "Farm Machinery/Animals," "Crops," etc. A group of oral
history transcripts has been placed at the end of the collection.
This collection is open for research use.
