Historical Note

Washington State University was originally chartered as the State Agricultural College and School of Science; the school's name was further altered to The Agricultural College Experiment Station and School of Science of the State of Washington even before it opened its doors in January of 1892. In 1905 it became The State College of Washington; by 1959 it was Washington State University. The campus' first building was the "Crib."

Content Description

This collection of photographic prints and accompanying items, such as brochures and dedications, records the various buildings that have existed on the Washington State University (State College of Washington) campus since its founding.

This collection is broken into two series: the first series comprises the majority of this collection and consists of photographic prints, postcards, and other positive images, and are ordered by building number; where too many exist for just one folder they're generally ordered by size. On occasion, other materials such as dedication pamphlets or architural brochures are included. Following the series of all the positive images are negatives, in the same order.

Administrative Information

Arrangement

WSU's Facilities Operations / Capital Planning applied a loose alphabetical numbering system to the surviving campus buildings in the later 1930s or early 1940s; later buildings were numbered chronologically until recent years wherein the numbering system has expanded to mimic a cataloging system. Photographs of buildings no longer in existence by 1940 can generally be found in one of two places: with the building that inherited their name (e.g. Old Ferry Hall pictures can be found with "new" Ferry Hall (8)), or with the building built in that location (e.g. pictures of the Crib can be found with the TUB (13)).

Acquisition Information

This collection is a subject file of photographs culled over the history of the school from numerous sources.

Future Additions

This collection continues to grow as individual images and small collections of images are donated and added to it.

Related Materials

Numerous other WSU MASC photograph collections hold images of WSU Buildings.

Similarly, WSU MASC has digitized a number of building images from this collection and others; to view these search on building names in MASC's digital collections.

A historical overview of campus buildings can be found at MASC's History of WSU Buildings site.
