and Architecture.

The departments which became the College of Engineering and Architecture at
Washington State University were in place when the school opened in 1892, with the
first graduates in 1897. In 1946, a reorganization established the Washington State
Insitute of Technology as the entity which included the academic departments as the
College of Engineering, the School of Mines, the Division of Industrial Research and
the Division of Industrial Service. The Instutute was again reorganized in July 1966
into a College of Engineering with academic departments, a Research Division and a
Technical Extension Service. In 1984, it was redefined as the College of Engineering
and Architecture.
The approximately 100,000 images document the programs, research, and day-to-day life
of the faculty, students, and staff of the College of Engineering and Architecture.
Though a small number of items predate 1965, the bulk of the collection covers the
late 1960s through the early 1990s. Many of the photographs found in Quest and other
Engineering and Architecture publications can be found within this collection. The
photographs in this collection are separated into eleven separate series, the
majority of which are fields of study within the College. A few are not - Extension
is the College's statewide outreach program, and the final three series are all
general topics within the college. The majority of the prints and negatives are
contact sheets or strips mounted on paper; these frequently have notes from the
College identifying them and have thus been retained exactly as they came to
MASC.
The 11 series are placed in alphabetical order (excepting the final three more
general series). Within each series the materials are separated by formats, with
photographic prints and negatives foldered together, and slides foldered separately
after them. Within each of those format types, items are ordered chronologically.
There are a few subject specific folders in the set, and those are generally placed
at the end of the appropriate series or subseries.
This collection is open and available for research use.

[Item Description]
Washington State University College of Engineering and Architecture Photographs, 1956-2000 (PC 143)
Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections, Washington State University Libraries, Pullman, WA.
This collection was donated to the Washington State University (WSU) Libraries'
Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections (MASC) on January 18th, 2011 by Tina
Hilding of WSU's College of Engineering and Architecture. It was accessioned as
UPC2011-01.
This collection was processed by University Archivist Mark O'English from January to
March, 2011. The collection was received in a sequence of large three-ring binders
which were discarded during processing.
Due to the sheer volume of this collection, slides have been retained in the
sheets/mounts in which they came from the College. The plastic in many of these is
beginning to degrade, and is slightly sticky. When money and time are available, the
slides in this collection need to be moved to archival holders.
Non-photographic documents received with this collection were separated out and
processed as Archives 304.
The College of Engineering and Architecture used a FileMaker Pro database to store
information on these photographs, at least through the end of the 1980s. As MASC
lacks the ability to access FileMaker Pro files, an archival copy of this is held in
MASC's digital archives, and an Excel version has been stored there as well. It is
suggested that people looking for specific names conduct keyword searches in that,
find the appropriate subject area and dates in the spreadsheet, and then browse the
collection. That title database, in Excel format, is available
online for download.
MASC holds a few other sets of photographs from the College of Engineering and Architecture:
Washington State University College of Engineering and Architecture Photographs, 1964-1987 (PC 144)
WSC College of Mechanic Arts and Engineering Photo Album, 1928 (PC 94)
Washington State University Department of Architecture Scrapbooks, 1963-1967 (Archives 395)
