Washington State University's School of Music was established in 1901. WSU's High
School Summer Camp was started in 1933 by Fine Arts Dean Herbert Kimbrough. It
eventually expanded to include non-music fields including journalism, speech, drama,
and art. Each Camp lasted four weeks (mid-June to mid-July); while the first camp
was only 40 high school students, by the mid-1960s it had grown to over 300.
The collection consists of papers and photographs (including slides) compiled by the
Washington State University School of Music in the middle part of the 20th
century.
The collection is organized in two series, the first being Papers and the second
being Photographs and Slides. Each series is organized by subject, with folders
within each subject being organized either by sub-topic or chronologically, as
aappropriate. The final box of photographs is a separate chronological series of
photographs originally from WSU's Offices of Printing and Publications.
This collection is open and available for research use.
