The Evergreen State...in Black and White

These photographs depict scenes of life in Washington, the Evergreen State, during the past century. They are taken from the extensive collection of historical photographs located in the Special Collections Division of the University Libraries.

The University of Washington attracts students from the state, from around the nation, and from around the world. A state-supported institution, it hosts thousands of students from the Evergreen State's towns, cities, suburbs, and rural areas. These historical photographs evoke the varied landscape, communities, and activities that played a part in shaping the way today's state looks and how it works.

Information on copies of historical photographs is available from Special Collections, located in the Allen Library, B level.
