The Moscow-Pullman Daily News is a local newspaper serving eighteen communities in
Whitman County, Washington and Latah County, Idaho. The first publication originated
with the Daily Star-Mirror, beginning on September 28, 1911. The Daily Star-Mirror
merged in 1939 with Moscow News Review, establishing the News-Review Publishing Co.,
which changed the name of the paper to the Idahonian. Later owners of the Idahonian,
Kerns-Tribune Corp., began publishing the Palouse Empire News in 1984, which they
merged with the Idahonian in 1991, creating the Moscow-Pullman Daily News. Owned by
the Alford family and headquartered in Moscow, Idaho and published Monday-Saturday
for most of its life; the Monday issue was discontinued in Dec. 2020 and then the
paper moved to twice-weekly (Thursday, Saturday) in May 2024.
The collection consists of 378 CDs, DVDs, or Blu-ray data discs, primarily containing
digital images created between 1994 and 2020. These comprise approximately 583 gigs
and 313,000 digital files, primarily photographic images. The images were taken for
use by the Moscow-Pullman Daily News newspapers. Some of the photographers
represented include Roger Ames, Rajah Bose, Geoff Crimmins, Kai Eiselein, Dean Hare.
The earlier parts of this collection cover the timeframe where their photography was
moving from film to digital. In cases where some folders are labeled “dig” and
others are not, “dig” refers to born-digital images and those not so labeled are
usually scans of images originally created on film. Obviously as they move to all
digital, this particular labeling falls out of use.
Several of the discs have gone bad and were either wholly unreadable or some
individual files or directories were unrecoverable. Of the 10 chronologically oldest
discs, six were completely unreadable and three were partially unreadable. After
that only one disc (2015 May) was completely unreadable; one was partially so
(effectively much of 2018 December).
The container list here merely lists the discs as titled. Dates are primarily taken
from the physical disc labeling, and may not exactly represent their contents.
Between all discs there are just over 11,000 folders, too many to list here, but a
spreadsheet listing all folders on all discs is available at WSU MASC for easier
searching.
It should be noted that for the earlier files in this collection, this was an era
where file suffixes were often used as information rather than designating file
format. For example, for some period of time images taken by photographer Geoff
Crimmins are identified as “.gwc” files. No attempt was made to identify these file
types and they are retained as originally named, but for the most part, simply
opening them in a modern image program will prove successful.
Most of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News is digitized and available online, and that
might be as useful as a tool in finding specific images – once a date is found, one
could contact MASC about access to specific images.
The CDs and DVDs are housed in chronological order, in the three disc cases they came in.
All discs were copied and added to WSU MASC's archival digital storage for permanent
retention, retained in an order which mimics the physical ordering. The unreadable
discs are labeled as such in the digital archives but have been retained on the
chance that future technology allows the recovery of their contents.
As part of the transfer arrangement, WSU MASC provided the Latah County Historical
Society with their own copy of all the digital files.
Most of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News newspaper is digitized and available online
through various newspaper databases.
This collection is open and available for research use.

Moscow-Pullman Daily News Photographs Collection, 1994-2020 (PC 216)
Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections, Washington State University Libraries, Pullman, WA.
Craig Staskow of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News donated these to the Latah County
Historical Society on Nov. 29, 2023. When former Daily News photographer Geoff
Crimmins learned they had gone there, he approached the LCHS and the WSU Libraries’
MASC about moving them to the latter, both to have them co-located with the MPDN’s
1970s-2004 physical archive (PC 155), and because the latter had a better capacity
for handling the volume of images.
Kaitlynn Anderson of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News transferred the collection from
the Latah County Historical Society to the WSU Libraries’ MASC on Jan. 23. 2026,
where they were retained as UPC 2027-01. As part of the transfer arrangement, the
MASC provided the Latah County Historical Society with their own copy of all the
digital files.
From Jan. 2026 – Feb. 2026 the MASC copied the contents of individual discs into
archival storage, where they are permanently retained. Once all discs were copied
over, the CDs and DVDs (and their digital counterparts) were arranged and numbered
into a chronological order.
Approximately three duplicated discs were discarded during processing.
The Moscow-Pullman Daily News Photograph Collection, 1970s-2004
(PC 155)
is a set of 97 boxes of photographs taken by the Moscow-Pullman Daily News in that pre-digital era.
This collection is indexed under the following headings in the online
