Organizational History:
The Friends of the Library (FOL) was established in 1938 by WSU's president, E. O. Holland, and William Wirt Foote, head librarian. The FOL's purpose is to assist in securing for the university important library resources in the arts, sciences, and technologies which will contribute to the institution's prograns of teaching, research and state service. Anyone interested in these causes can become a member of the organization. The organization functions as a channel for financial support of the library's acquisitions program, as a mechanism to encourage donation of materials to the library, and as a public relations service for the Washington State University Libraries.
Since the mid 1950s, the library's administrative support for the FOL has been located in Manuscripts, Archives and Special Collections. These records often document the overlap between the two offices.
The Friends of the Library records have been arranged in a single series, Alphabetical Subject File, 1938-1979. The series is composed of correspondence, minutes of meetings, committee records, constitutions, budget printouts, invoices, receipts, memorial fund materials, papers concerning us. The Record (correspondence, articles, typescripts, form letters, announce ments, photos) and a speakers file.
The Collection is open for research use.
The Friends of the Library records were donated to the Washington State University Libraries in July 1981 by the Friends of the Library and the Manuscripts, Archives and Special Collections unit of Holland Library (UA 81-21). The group was then combined with another set of Friends of the Library records, formerly WSU 106.
The combined record group was processed by Barbara Kovarik Gahl in May and June of 1983.
