Western Washington Research and Extension Center Photographs
1913-1923
7 containers
3.5 linear feet
Approximate 560 items
A collection of some 560 photographs from the Western Washington Experiment Station. The station has served to bring the results of agricultural practice into western Washington and is presently known as the Western Washington Research and Extension Center
Collection materials are in
English
Historical Note:
In 1894, members of the Ross family of Puyallup proposed to deed to the college a tract of forty acres of logged land with a spring on the condition that the college should buy a certain tract of twenty acres of cultivated land and devote the entire area to an experiment station.
The station thus established was not a branch of the experiment station at Pullman founded under the provisions of the Hatch Act funds, but after 1887 and was not under the immediate direction of home station. It formed a distinct division of the institution answerable directly to the President of the college and to the Board of Regents.
Initially, the station was supported almost exclusively by Hatch Act funds, but after 1897, when this source stopped, it was forced to close several times until 1907, when adequate appropriation bill was passed and the station was officially designated "Western Washington Experiment Station."
About 1912, the station established a winter school for special courses in poultry and dairy industry. Large attention was also given to problems in plant pathology and the small fruit industry.
The station has served to bring the best results of agricultural practice into western Washington rather than devoting itself to purely scientific problems, not being hampered by many of the restrictions of the federal laws under the provisions of the Hatch and Adams Acts. The station is presently known as the Western Washington Research and Extension Center.
The photographic collection consists mostly of glass negatives (5x7) with some film negatives (5x7) taken by a member of station staff. Out of approximately 700 negatives received, about 560 were salvable, the rest of the images having been obliterated by water damage.
A Series: Based on a numbering system on the original negatives. Deals with test plotsof various vegetable and cereal crops and grasses. Some equipment and land clearing operations. Arranged chronologically if dated, with undated negatives following. 1913-1923. 204 items.
B Series: This category based on fragmentary numbering system on the original negatives. Concerned with plant diseases and effects of insect damage on plants. Arranged chronologically by year if dated, with undated negatives following. 1913-1919. 33 items.
C Series: Based on a fragmentary numbering system on the original negatives. Includes equipment, group portraits of visitors and various classes and short courses, and exhibits at the Western Washington State Fair. Arranged chronologically if dated, with undated negatives following. 1916-1921. 97 items.
D Series: Not included in any original numbering system. Concerned with numerous aspects of the poultry operation at the experiment station. Arranged chronologically if dated, with undated negatives following. 1913-1920. 154 items.
E Series: Not included in any original numbering system. Concerned with orchard fruit and various berries. Arranged chronologically if dated, with undated negatives following. 1913-1918. 74 items.
The papers of the Western Washington Research and Extension Center in Puyallup, including some glass and film negatives, were transferred to the Washington State University Library in November, 1977. (UA 77-34)
