Historical Note
A library was begun by the Washington Agricultural College concurrent with the opening of the college in 1892. In 1909, the Library acquired its own building, or rather wing of a building, and with it an identity as a major division within the college.
Content Description
The collection consists of a variety of small sets of materials. Present are: Carpet and furnishing fabric samples from the opening of the Owen Science and Engineering Library. A 2006 Library Summit data set. Open stacks issues between 1985 and 1992. Owen Sci. Library orientation documents. Science Library newsletters, 1972 to 1979. New Holland Addition (Terrell) move planning documents, 1993-1994. Photos from when Holland, Owen, and Terrell were each new, 1950-1994. Some reorganization papers from the 1990s to 2010s.

Administrative Information
Arrangement
This is an unprocessed collection. Any arrangement reflects either a pre-existing order from the records' creators or previous custodians, or preliminary sorting performed by staff.
Location of Collection
(MASC STAFF USE) 2-35-26-4Acquisition Information
Bonny Boyan of the Libraries’ Administrative Office donated this collection to the Washington State University Libraries in October of 2022, where it was retained as UA 2022-12. Apparently the material had been in storage in the basement of the Owen Science and Engineering Library for many years.
Processing Note
University Archivist Mark O’English accessioned this collection in December, 2022. The materials should be jointly processed with the other Libraries collections of papers held in MASC. The Open Stacks issues are probably in the WSU Pubs and can be interfiled there, and there may be processed sets of photographs in which some of the images may belong.
Related Materials
WSU MASC holds a myriad of Libraries collections, both processed and unprocessed, as well as a quantity of materials in the WSU Publications collection.
