WSU Athletic Department, Football
Motion Pictures, 1916-1976
The WSU football game films were placed in the Washington State University Library in August, 1977 by the Athletic Department (UA 77-25). They were processed in March 1979 by David Smestad.
(For further films, check: Archives 204, Archives 212, Archives 188, and Archives227. ) We've also created a combined chronological listing of these films.
HISTORY
Football has been played at Washington State University since the 1890s, shortly after the commencement of operations of the institution.
ARRANGEMENT AND DESCRIPTION
The immense bulk of the films required weeding; therefore a selection policy, in cooperation with the Department of Athletics, was established. All films prior to 1961 were retained. From that date the selection policy includes all conference (PAC- 8 ) games but excludes non-conference games. However, a few significant non-conference games were retained to the Department of Athletics for their use or disposal.
The present (March 1979) transfer agreement between the Department of Athletics and the University Archives calls for transfer to the University Archives of a black and white print of each conference (now PAC-10) game and those non-conference games of importance to their program.
The WSU football game films are arranged chronologically within three series depending on whether or not they were wound on reels or placed in cans. The great majority of the films are properly wound on film reels and stored in film cans. A few films i n series One are lacking film cans. The list of films gives the name of the opposing team and a parenthetical number which refers to the number of reels for each game listed. Color films are similarly indicated. In Series III the diameter of the film roll is given, in inches.
