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.
This collection includes primarily bibliographic information related to agricultural studies and dissertations done on the Palouse, known formally as the Palouse Bibliography. Items also include collection development policies and acquistion cancellations by various departments.
This is an unprocessed collection. Any arrangement reflects either a pre-existing order from the records' creators or previous custodians, or preliminary sorting performed by staff.
Items in this collection are organized by subject matter.
This collection is open and available for research use.
