Annual reports of cooperative research projects summarize activities and typically are bound in book form.
The reports are arranged by their topic of investigation and author placed in chronological order. A few individual reports, some of which are USDA projects, but not necessarily in collaboration with the State College of Washington, are placed at the end of the sequence.
This collection is open and available for research use.
