Hendrik Stephanus Barslaag Jr. (1909-1990) attended the State College of Washington beginning in fall of 1927, and graduated with a B.S. in Hydro-Electrical Engineering in 1932. For most of his career he worked for the city of Tacoma, eventually retiring there as superintendent of the water department.
The collection consists of 42 black and white photographs dating from Hendrik Baarslag’s 1927-1932 days as a student at Washington State College.
The photographs are believed to have been taken by Baarslag or his friends. A small number of the photographs have a Graves Studio stamp on the back; it is unclear if Graves took those photographs, or merely developed them.
The collection has been parsed into seven subject-based folders, arranged alphabetically.
This collection is open and available for research use.
Items are in the public domain. Unpublished works remain under the copyright of their creator (or their heirs) until 70 years after the death of the creator, but in this case the family waived copyright when they donated the materials.
