University Relations, Office of, Centennial Files, 1979-1990

Records of Centennial matters are chiefly office correspondence, memoranda, reports and notes. Most records are the files of Dan Peterson and Sonia Hussa. Also included are a number of videotape recordings of centennial-related events. The arrangement reflects the amalgamation of records maintained by multiple individuals.

The media in the collection include standard 1/8" audio cassettes and 1/2" and 3/4" videotape with one Super VHS tape. They begin with the WSU 95th anniversary in 1985 and are dominated by centennial events in 1989 and 1990 on the WSU campus as well as public service announcements and commercial broadcasts about the centennial. The 1/2" videotapes are standard VHS except for the one SVHS that will play but with very poor quality on a standard VHS deck. The 3/4" tapes are all standard not SP Umatic on full-size cassettes and thus will play in a standard Umatic deck.
