Washington State University News and Information Services Photographs
1960-1985
1.25 Linear feet of shelf space
3 Boxes
1700 Images, approximate
Photographs from Washington State University’s News and Information Services, covering student and campus life between 1960 and 1985.
Collection materials are in English
The photographs in this collection were taken by staff members in WSU’s News and
Information Services, then located in the French Administration Building. The
department was responsible for providing WSU stories both for the media and for
in-house publications such as WSU Week, Hilltopics, and Universe.
This collection is comprised of three boxes of Washington State University images
created, dating between 1960 and 1985.
The first series of materials consist of black and white positive contact sheets,
usually with accompanying negatives attached to the back.
The second series consists of color slides. The images, many of which were
hand-labeled by the staff who originally created or worked with them, include (but
are not limited to) sports, science research, student life, and campus scenes.
Most of the materials are dated. The contact sheets range in date from 1972 to 1985,
and the slides range from 1960 to 1985.
Both series of materials are organized alphabetically by subject.
In the second series of the materials, found in boxes two and three, most of the
slides are 1⅜ by ⅞ inches, but two folders of differently sized slides (⅝ by ½ inch
and 2¾ inch square respectively) have been placed at the beginning of the series.
This collection is open and available for research use.

Washington State University News and Information Services Photographs, 1960-1985 (PC 188)
Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections,
Washington State University Libraries, Pullman, WA.
Three boxes of material measuring three cubic feet were received at the Washington
State University Libraries’ Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections (MASC) on
February 5, 1999 from Al Ruddy of WSU News and Information Services. The materials
were retained as accession UPC-005.
This collection was processed by WSU student Kaitlyn Van Vleet in January-February of 2020.
WSU MASC holds a number of series of photographs which document the campus and its
students, taken either by Student Media and its predecessors, or by WSU’s Photo
Services and its predecessors. Rather than listing them all here, we would suggest
looking at the list of the MASC’s photograph collections, as well as at the
unprocessed collections (accessions).
This collection is indexed under the following headings in the online
catalog. Researchers desiring materials about related topics, persons, or
