Jim Walesby, a 1970 WSU graduate, donated these materials to Lynne Haley of WSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine on September 16th, 2020. The material had originally been collected by Walesby’s grandfather and uncle, Evan I. Evans and Chester Evans, who had both graduated from the WSC veterinary school, in 1915 and 1919 respectively. They had remained in the family since. On December 1, 2020 they were transferred to the WSU Libraries’ Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections (MASC) and retained as UPC 20-03.
