Hi all,
I thought others might be interested in this website from the
University of Washington Special Collections - they have digitized
many of the photographs and other items in their holdings, and posted
them online. The URL is:
http://content.lib.washington.edu/index.html
I have found 8 historical photos for Cowlitz County and over 25 for
Lewis County. In poking around the site, there are old photos from
most of the state's counties. They also have a number a special
collections, including American Indians of the Pacific Northwest, the
William F. Boyd Photography Album (he took many of the pictures of
Seattle immediately after the Great Fire of 1889), and the Menus
Collection - "A selection of historical menus and other graphic
materials from restaurants and dining facilities in the Pacific
Northwest from 1889 to 2003."
Best wishes,
Jenny Tenlen
