Historical NoteReturn to Top

Public history projects centered around significant buildings in downtown Pullman were undertaken by students enrolled in Washington State University's History 427/527 courses, Public History, in 2006. The organizer of this effort was Professor Robert R. McCoy of the WSU Department of History.

The collection consists of historical reports written by graduate students and upper level undergraduates for a 2006 WSU History (427/527) class, directed by professor Rob McCoy. The reports document downtown Pullman buildings, and usually include reproductions of historical resources. In most cases they document the full ownership history of the site. Many also contain materials on CD.
