A state-wide guide to all of the manuscript collections in museums, libraries, universities, historical societies, churches, etc. in the state (the Washington State Archives collections were published in a separate volume, now up to date and searchable on-line). The data was published in a limited number of hard-copy volumes, and the data base was somehow not forgotten. It was migrated from Spindex to Gencat to Access, and now to PDF format. The information is arranged by city, then by repository, and then the collections for each repository are listed. Contact information for the repositories (as of 1981) is at the end of the guide. | |||
