Washington Wide has been added to the collection at Central Washington University’s Archives & Special Collections in Ellensburg. Thank you to Julia Stringfellow and the archives team for taking it in.
The archives opened in 2005. It keeps the university’s own records and also serves as a regional repository for the cultural history of central Washington. A book about the whole state belongs in that kind of collection, and Central Washington is the part of the state that connects the Cascades to the Columbia Plateau, so I’m glad it’s there.
Washington Wide is a 172-page hardcover of panoramic photographs shot on Fujichrome Velvia 50 film over more than thirty years, with a foreword by Randy Lewis. The archives holds a copy for the long term, and it’s one of several university library collections that now have the book.
