Thomas Heuterman (1934-), former professor of communication at Washington State
University, was raised in Wapato, Washington. He received his bachelor's degree and
Ph.D. from WSU, and his master's degree from the University of Washington. Prior to
joining the WSU faculty, he worked as a reporter for the Yakima Herald-Republic.
Heuterman's teaching specialties included public affairs reporting, communication
history, and writing (journalism). He also worked closely with students outside the
classroom, serving as the newsroom adviser to the student newspaper, the Evergreen.
His research interests were primarily in communication history, including the
American frontier press. He retired from WSU in 1996. His published works include
"Movable Type: Biography of Legh R. Freeman" and "The Burning Horse:
Japanese-American Experience in the Yakima Valley, 1920-1942".
Most of the materials in this collection are related to Thomas Heuterman's work as a

of which had originally been gathered by his predecessors and colleagues; he also
collected news articles and other documentation of major financial and political
issues at the university, as well as issues of alternative newspapers.
