English Biographical Note

Sarah Spurgeon (1903-1985) came to Ellensburg from Iowa in 1939 and joined the art department at the college the same year. She took a hiatus from her work at Central Washington College of Education during World War II when she went to work for Boeing as an artist. Following the war, she returned to Ellensburg and continued as a professor until her retirement in 1971. The Sarah Spurgeon Art Gallery, named in 1977 and currently housed in Randall Hall, is free and open to the public.

This collection consists of notebooks, scrapbooks, notices, and black-and-white photographs relating to the work of Sarah Spurgeon, professor in the Art Department of Central Washington College of Education (now Central Washington University) in the 1930s-1970s. Also included are several local newspaper clippings about art events in which Spurgeon or her students played a part.

Central Washington University began as the Washington State Normal School in 1891. In 1937, the school was rechristened the Central Washington College of Education. In 1961, the school became Central Washington State College and, finally, in 1977, Central Washington University.
