Collection
materials are in English.
Eldon Barrett (1921-2009) was a nationally known journalist, United Press International (UPI) reporter and news bureau chief. Born in Nampa, Idaho, Barrett’s journalism career began during his teenage years at Olympia High School in Washington State, where he was a writer and editor of the school newspaper. He continued his writing at St. Martin’s College in Lacey, Washington, before enlisting in the Merchant Marine during World War II. After the war, Barrett began working for UPI news agency, initially in Salem, Oregon, and then in Seattle, Washington. In 1980, following retirement from UPI, Barrett and his wife Catherine (Ayer) Barrett moved to Bellingham, Washington, where he edited "Going Strong," a Bellingham Herald column on the topic of senior citizens, and continued to research and publish travel-related writing.
Eldon Barrett covered myriad issues and events during his career in journalism, including presidential visits to Seattle, sporting events, nuclear bomb testing in Alaska and Washington State legislative sessions. He was an avid and skilled photographer, documenting much of his travel and research interests through images as well as writing.

The Eldon Barrett Papers comprise biographical and personal papers, research, writings and photographic materials documenting the life and career of a nationally known journalist, United Press International (UPI) writer and news bureau chief.
The collection contains a small number of biographical and personal records, including documents from Eldon Barrett’s high school and college years, certificates of award, papers relating to his military service and a copy of his obituary.
The bulk of the collection comprises the extensive research and writing files generated through the course of Barrett’s career with UPI, and during his “retirement” years as a freelance travel writer and Bellingham Herald columnist. Maintained largely in the original and meticulous order found in Barrett's office, these files chronicle the extent and evolving nature of his research interests. His files include an assortment of notes, correspondence, articles, clippings, publications, photographs and other materials organized topically as the basis for his professional writings. These research and writings files document a wide variety of subjects, including people, places and events in the Pacific Northwest and other world-wide locations. Barrett researched and documented myriad stories of local and regional interest, including high-profile criminal cases, Pacific Northwest maritime history, WWII history in the Aleutian Islands and nuclear weapons testing at Amchitka, Alaska. Also of interest and grouped together are research files for Barrett’s Bellingham Herald “Seniors” columns, and pertaining to his ideas for books, articles, poetry and other writing projects. While Barrett frequently included copies or drafts of his manuscripts among these (subject-related) research files, researchers will also find many related and additional writings organized together under the headings “publications” and “published articles.”
Eldon Barrett's papers contain a significant number of slides, photographs and scrapbooks that complement or document his writings and other research materials. Folders, albums and scrapbooks are clearly identified on the inventory with descriptive titles (most supplied or labeled by Barrett) regarding the name, location and date of their subjects. They include slides of travels and landscapes in Western Washington and the Pacific Northwest in particular, images of Seattle and Olympia during the 1960s (including images of visiting presidents, Robert F. Kennedy and Black Panther protests in Olympia), and scrapbooks of photos and clippings documenting Barrett's work "On the Job" at UPI's Seattle office.
The collection also includes a small number of programs from sporting and other events, including the dedication ceremony for the Seattle Kingdome.
The Eldon Barrett papers are organized in accordance with the following series arrangement:
- Series I. Biographical and personal papers1935-2010
- Series II. Research and Writings1849-20101937-2010
- Series III. Slides, Photographs and Albums circa 1930-19991960-1999
- Series IV. Event Programs1961-1980
The
collection is open to the public.
