Description
The Archives of Washington State University contain materials of permanent administrative or
historical value that originates with Washington State University, including
its administration, faculty, staff, and students. The University Archives
document the activities and history of Washington State University and the
people associated with it. These archives include official documents and
papers, published and unpublished records, printed resources, ephemera, theses
and dissertations, and audio and visual materials. These Archives exist for both historical and
administrative purposes. Common uses involve university public relations,
architectural research, departmental histories, past athletic events, older
university publications, theses and dissertations, biography, and technical
questions.
Some of these records are maintained by law, and access to portions of the University Archives is
restricted. Though most records are readily available; certain situations may require
filing a public disclosure request with the department which originated the
records. A small portion of the records are covered by privacy laws and may be
unavailable. The University Archives does not maintain student
records/transcripts; please contact the Registrar regarding these.
