WILCOX COMPILED FOR THE BOARD BY THE STAFF OF THE WASHINGTON STATE HISTORICAL RECORDS AND ARCHIVES PROJECT 1981 PREFACE In 1976 the first Washington State Historical Records Advisory Board was appointed by the governor at the request of the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, known in archival circles as the NHPRC. The Board's charge was to begin a program statewide that would improve access to archives and manuscripts material for researchers, and to generally suggest remedies to improve the condition of historical records-keeping in Washington State. Responding to this assignment the Board devised a plan for the first comprehensive historical records survey in any state since the end of the original historical records survey of the Depression Era. Understanding that a thorough knowledge of what historical records existed in the state was a precondition to addressing other problems, the Board decided to put a premium on such identification. The staff of the Washington State Historical Records and Archives Project was fortunate to be entrusted by the Board in 1977 to launch such a survey process and to publish the results. This was done with the substantial support of grant funds provided by the NHPRC. I order to involve concerned citizens with the project, the first step taken was to hold a series of workshops across the state to provide basic education on archival and records management techniques to public officials and private records custodians. The individuals attending the workshops were then able to assist the survey workers in completing their inventories. Through the balance of 1977 and 1978 staff surveyors and countless contributors from the agencies and organizations being surveyed labored mightily to uncover historical records materials and organize them sufficiently to compile listings. In their work they braved the hazards of dirt, rodents, unstable structures and extremes of cold and heat. Their efforts were magnificent. Over 1,500 institutions were contacted, and survey data compiled on over 25,000 record groups, collections and series of records and papers. The field workers' listings were then edited and indexed by editorial staff, and processed using the SPINDEX III system of computer programs developed by the National Archives. Utilizing this system will also allow Washington State data to be automatically incorporated into the national data base of historical records currently under development by the NHPRC, an ancillary benefit that may have tremendous impact on the availability of archives and manuscripts for research in the years ahead. About one quarter of the data assembled appears in this volume, over 6,400 descriptions of collections in over 250 large and small repositories in the state. Three other volumes contain the remainder of the data. One is a hardcopy publication that describes records held in the Washington State Archives and its system of regional depositories. Two further guides will be produced in Computer Output Microfiche (COM), one to public records held by agencies such as courthouses, city halls, and special districts in the state, and the other describing historical records and papers held by private organizations and individuals. Collectively they will constitute the most comprehensive collection of data on historical records in one state anywhere in the nation. Our hope is that these publications will promote access to primary source material essential to the study of the history of the state and its localities and regions. We believe that advantage will also accrue to those involved with contemporary problems. Lawyers and public officers involved in issues of the day will gain better knowledge of a body of resources that can assist them in their work. By having this data available, countless dollars in terms of research hours will be saved. That is our purpose, to enhance access to historical materials, both for scholars and for contemporary researchers, in order that their task may be made easier and that the citizens of the state, and ultimately the nation, might benefit. The staff of the records project could not have begun to complete this work without the aid of hundreds of organizations and individuals throughout the state. The sage advice and support of past and present members of the advisory board was critical to the project's success. To the chairman, Sidney McAlpin, and members Richard Berner, Al Culverwell, Earl Glauert, Bruce Harding, Phil Lothyan, Howard Lovering, Jim Moore, Nancy Pryor, Jay Rea, George Scott, Jim Scott, Bruce LeRoy, Nat Washington, and Karyl Winn go many thanks. Various institutions throughout the state generously provided facilities from which the project could operate. Central Washington University graciously agreed to allocate space for headquarters activities. Field offices and other services were provided by the State Archives, University of Washington, Washington State University, Eastern Washington University, Western Washington University, Whitman College, Everett and Skagit Valley Community Colleges, the state departments of General Administration, Social and Health Services and Transportation, the Eastern Washington State Historical Society, the Benton-Franklin Governmental Conference, the Chelan County Government, and KCPQ-TV. Individuals who offered key assistance included Georgia Allison, Linda Stosalovich, Janet Brown, Ladd Allison, Terry Abraham, various members of the Du Pont Historical Society, Sandi Diebold, Sister Rita Bergamini, Gary Lundell, Nigel Adams, Edward Harrington, Kent Richards, Sally Maddocks, the students in Bill Scofield's class at Yakima Valley College, and State Archives staff members Dave Owens, "Doc" Ellenwood, Mike Saunders, and Pat Hopkins. So many others also helped that space does not allow individual mention. The contributions of officials in the thirty-nine county government auditor's, clerk's and other offices, in over two hundred municipal governments, and in the various local government associations, were essential to our inventory of public records. Similarly, the assistance of librarians, curators and organization leaders was critical to our completion of the survey of private sector materials. To those anonymous contributors, as well as the organizations and persons listed above, goes enormous gratitude on our part. Finally, I must cite the records project staff for their outstanding performance. Most selflessly devoted many overtime hours for which they were not compensated, under working conditions that sometimes approached the impossible. Through this they bore the mental and physical stresses with great perseverance and excellent humor. No finer group of individuals has ever worked together. To them goes my personal deep and heartfelt thanks. What success this project has had, and what benefits the publications will bring, is due principally to their extraordinary efforts. JOHN F. BURNS Project Administrator and Supervisory USER?S INTRODUCTION This guide presents a reasonably comprehensive listing of archival holdings found throughout the State of Washington. Not included are materials held at the State Archives and its system of regional depositories, which are listed in a companion volume. Also excluded are a great many small and single-item collections and record groups held at three larger repositories, the libraries of the University of Washington, Washington State University, and the Washington State Historical Society. Omissions have been made only at these three institutions. Researchers are advised that these libraries have internal guides and finding aids which can supplement the listings in this guide. The guide is organized in alphabetical order based on city names, with individual institutions listed alphabetically within each city. Holdings of institutions appear as alphabetical lists of the manuscript collections and record groups located at each respective institution. Some exceptions to alphabetical order appear, principally where a university archives and a manuscripts repository are combined. In these cases the guide generally employs an alphabetical listing of holdings of each component. Users will note a system of hierarchic numbers which identify each entry and also govern arrangement of the guide. These numbers are based on a system developed by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission for the purpose of arranging and indexing guides. Use of these numbers is restricted to guides and the numbers are not employed by the holders of the actual records to identify materials in their custody. Examination of the alphabetical order of collections will disclose that this sequence is obscured by the use of normal word order in titles, as opposed to the inverted form often seen in bibliographic citations. Users will also note that traditional, library-oriented title rules have not been used, as such prove unfeasible in a compilation such as this. Consequently, titles follow pragmatic practices which allow a restructuring of titles, the creation of titles in cases where none exist, and the general intent of presenting information rather than form. General rules for titles are these: 1) Titles should be similar to those used by repositories. 2) Titles should show the provenance of records, that is, the agency which created or collected the records. 3) If the repository itself appears to be the only identifiable agent of provenance, the "institution-as-collector" title is used. 4) In cases where no title other than a descriptive phrase is available, it is generally presented in upper case letters. The presentation of information about individual collections also departs from the traditional form of annotated bibliography. Instead, this guide employs a computer-aided feature which places recurrent "headers" in positions which identify each component of an entry. Some data is presented without these headers, especially birth and death dates, which simply appear in the upper right-hand position of an entry, identifiable as vital dates by the abbreviations "b." and "d." Occasional variant titles also appear without the computer-generated header, positioned in indentation below the main title. Certain abbreviations are employed throughout the guide. The most commonly used are "c.f." and "l.f.," two units of measurement used extensively by archivists to express quantity, either as cubic feet or linear feet of shelf space. This guide occasionally uses the convention of expressing very small quantities as "0.1 c.f." In other instances, small quantities have been expressed in item count, if such information was available to the editors of the guide. Users should also be aware that certain conventions have been used for the data identified by the header ?finding aids." Nomenclature in this area of archival practices is chaotic, with a wide variety of names used to identify similar types of descriptive devices. Often the editors of this guide have used the general term ?inventory," even if the finding aid in question might be more properly called by some other name. Users should be aware that the varied terms for the finding aids all essentially mean a detailed list, usually kept typewritten pages, but occasionally on cards. Those doing research at archival institutions should expect to encounter instances in which the terms used for finding aids may differ from those presented in this guide. 26800000 Aberdeen Public Library Aberdeen Public Library Date: 1880's -1940's Volume: 10 c.f.
