Organizational History:
Washington Agricultural College first employed a botanist in 1893. A Department of Botany and Zoology came into existence in about 1895. A separate Botany Department was organized in 1907, and continues to the present (2000AD). The Botany faculty has included many well-known botanical scientists.
Further documentation of the Botany Department can be found at the University Libraries, chiefly in the form of personal papers of various members of the faculty. See also WSU Publications 37.
Correspondence, minutes, reports, budgets, recruiting inforation, and information regarding graduate, students, including placement of same, to and from the Department of Botany. Of particular interest is the correspondence of Winslow R. Hatch, Chairman of the Division of Biological Sciences, and early correspondence regarding the development of the Prairie Strip Administration.
The records are arranged in subject files, ordered alphabetically.
The Collection is open for research use.
Records of the Washington State University Department of Botany were transferred to the University Libraries in 1988 by Botany department personnel (UA1988-34).
Processing was by Brenda Jackson, June 2000.
