Collection includes State College of Washington/Washington State University football films from 1929-1979.

Since four years after its 1890 founding, Washington State University participated in intercollegiate football. Filming of those competitions began in the 1920s and continues today.
The collection includes films of football games played by the State College of
Washington, and later, Washington State University from 1929-1979. The immense bulk
of the films required weeding; therefore a selection policy, in cooperation with the
Department of Athletics, was established. All films prior to 1961 were retained.
From that date the selection policy includes all conference (PAC-8) games but
excludes non-conference games. However, a few significant non-conference games were
retained to the Department of Athletics for their use or disposal.
The WSU football game films are arranged chronologically within three series
depending on whether or not they were wound on reels or placed in cans. The great
majority of the films are properly wound on film reels and stored in film cans. A
few films in series One are lacking film cans. The list of films gives the name of
the opposing team and a parenthetical number which refers to the number of reels for
each game listed. Color films are similarly indicated. In Series III the diameter of
the film roll is given, in inches.
This collection is open and available for research use.
Copyright restrictions apply.
[Item Description]
Washington State University Intercollegiate Athletics Football Films, 1929-1976 (Archives 29)
Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections, Washington State University Libraries, Pullman, WA.
The WSU football game films were placed in the Washington State University Library in August, 1977 by the Athletic Department (UA 77-25).
The present (March 1979) transfer agreement between the Department of Athletics and
the University Archives calls for transfer to the University Archives of a black and
white print of each conference (now PAC-10) game and those non-conference games of
importance to their program.
This collection was processed in March 1979 by David Smestad.
