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.
Collection materials are inEnglish
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."
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.
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)).
This collection is open and available for research use.
