Archival Chinooks: WSU Yearbooks, 1899-1986

The Chinooks - Washington State University Yearbooks

To contact the WSU Yearbook services, call WSU Student Publications at 509-335-4573.

While Washington State University began classes in 1892 and graduated its first students in 1896, no yearbook was produced until 1899. The second yearbook was produced in 1901, and they've been published annually since. The Washington State University Libraries digitized these in 2010-2011. At the moment, they're only accessible here via full-document download, but we expect to have a system allowing individual page views available online by June, 2012.

In clicking on a link, you'll be downloading the full body of a pdf. Be aware that if you have a slower internet connection these may take several minutes, particularly for the more recent Chinooks.
For best viewing - once a Chinook pdf opens, we suggest going to the "View" menu in your pdf viewer, and selecting "Two-Up" under "Page Display."

For those with two dates given, the earlier date (in parentheses) is the date you want to go by. The early volumes were produced by the school's Junior Class, and the cover date reflects that class rather than the publication date. As an example, "Chinook, 1910 (1909). Vol. 10" was cover-dated 1910, was published by the Class of '10 when they were juniors, and covers the school year ending in 1909.

Please also be aware that more recent yearbooks are available in physical form through WSU's Student Publications; contact them at 509-335-4573 for more information.
