[Item Description]
Eastern Washington Historical Media, 1928-1987 (SC 013)
Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections,
Washington State University Libraries, Pullman, WA.
This collection was created from a number of small accessions, some numbered but many unprocessed. These include MS1993-46, MS2002-15, and an item from UPC-7.
As part of a multi-year media project, MASC organized and processed a large number of loose media items, small media collections, and even large overlapping media collections. The materials were initially identified and described by Scott Stratton in 2010; Susan Vetter completed that from 2011-2012. The items in this collection were parsed from those, due to their common subject matters and their lack of a direct tie to WSU (in most cases), and processed in June 2013 by University Archivist Mark O’English.
This collection is indexed under the following headings in the online
catalog. Researchers desiring materials about related topics, persons, or
