BIOGRAPHY
Thomas Heuterman (1934-), professor of communication at Washington State University, was raised in Wapato, Washington. He received his bachelor's degree and Ph.D. from WSU, and his master's degree from the University of Washington. Prior to joining the WSU faculty, he worked as a reporter for the Yakima Herald-Republic.
Heuterman's teaching specialties included public affairs reporting, communication history, and writing (journalism). He also worked closely with students outside the classroom, serving as the newsroom adviser to the student newspaper, the Evergreen. His research interests were primarily in communication history, including the American frontier press. His published works include Movable Type: Biography of Legh R. Freeman and The Burning Horse: Japanese-American Experience in the Yakima Valley, 1920-1942.

ARRANGEMENT AND
DESCRIPTION
Most of the materials in this collection are related to
Thomas Heuterman's work as a member of the faculty in the Washington State
University Department of Communication. He collected materials related to the
history of the department, some of which had originally been gathered by his
predecessors and colleagues; he also collected news articles and other
documentation of major financial and political issues at the university, as
well as issues of alternative newspapers. While most of this material has been
retained in this collection, a series of departmental memoranda and faculty
minutes has been separated for processing as departmental archives.
The series arrangement for this collection was imposed during processing in the absence of a usable original order. Within individual folders, the original order has generally been retained.
The collection is arranged in seven series:
Series 1:
Correspondence, 1964-1995.
Series 2: "Northwest Chronicles" Scripts, 1977-1979. Heuterman had a weekly radio program called "Northwest Chronicles" on KWSU from 1977 to 1979. These scripts were based upon papers written by students in the WSU Department of Communications History of Communications class. These student papers are included in the university archives.
Series 3: Washington State University Communication Department, 1950-1996. This series includes files related to departmental history, events, programs, and administration.
Series 4: Washington State University, 1976-1992. News articles and other documentation of major financial and political issues at the university.
Series 5: Miscellaneous, 1867-1991.
Series 6: Pictorial News of the Day, 1948-1949. These glossy broadside sheets were produced and distributed by the Dispatch Photo News Service, Inc. They were normally displayed in the windows of businesses.
Series 7: Alternative Newspapers (Oversize), 1966-1974. Heuterman's file of alternative newspapers, primarily from the Pacific Northwest. These oversize items are arranged alphabetically by title.
