Anthropology courses at Washington State University originally fell under the
department of Sociology, in the college of Arts and Sciences. In 1963, Anthropology
became its own department. Through the years the department has had a number of
homes on campus, from Commons Hall to Johnson Tower, and finally to the current
building in College Hall, which was renovated in 1983 to house both the department
and the Anthropology Research Lab (Center for Northwest Anthropology).
The collection includes annual Anthropology department reports, and correspondence
from both faculty and the chairman of the department. Also included in this
collection are the departmental faculty meeting minutes running from 1974 to 1989
and the eight volumes of the Washington State Research newsletter.
The collection was arranged at processing into three series plus a folder of annual
reports. The correspondence series is further broken down into two subseries, which
are arranged alphabetically and then by date. The newsletters are arranged
chronologically.
This collection is open and available for research use.
