The Washington State University Libraries date to the founding of the Washington Agricultural College and School of Science, when the library was just a shelf in the President’s office in the first campus building. It quickly grew and became a room in the original College Hall, then half a floor in the Administration Building (Thompson Hall), then half of Bryan Hall, then the full Holland Library, and then the Owen Science and Engineering Library as well. Over time a number of departmental libraries acted as branches of the system, some officially and some unofficially.
Shelving files from the WSU Libraries from 1973-1995. Including committee meeting notes, schedules, receipts, and remodel documents. Records from proposing, organizing and moving into the Holland Addition (the Terrell Library).
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.
Files are mostly unorganized. Some are filed into labeled folders, but remain in no particular order. Box 1 contains correspondence, memoranda, and budget reports related to the Holland Library addition. Box 2 contains reports related to the moving of departmental libraries as well as financial reports and receipts related to the library move.
This collection is open and available for research use.
