Historical Note
The Washington State University Libraries date to the founding of the Washington Agricultural College and School of Science, when the library was just a shelf in the President’s office in the first campus building. It quickly grew and became a room in the original College Hall, then half a floor in the Administration Building (Thompson Hall), then half of Bryan Hall, then the full Holland Library, and then the Owen Science and Engineering Library as well. Over time a number of departmental libraries acted as branches of the system, some officially and some unofficially.
Content Description
Primarily consists of memoranda and correspondence related to the dissolving of departmental libraries, the rearrangement of the Education Library, and the reorganization of Holland Libraries from about 1974-1976. Also includes reports related to the usage of Manuscripts, Archives and Special Collections.
