The Available Collection in the Tacoma Historical Society
The Tacoma Historical Society’s collections include hundreds of photos, letters and documents, oral histories and oral history tapes, maps, newspaper clippings, and Pierce County County government records dating back to the 19th century. Tacoma Historical Society is continually adding to their collections through donations from Pierce County County community members.
Several thousand items are on display at the Tacoma Museum each year. These items tell the story of life in the area before it became a Pierce County county — who lived here and how they made their living; how the Pierce County County was explored and governed; what kinds of crops were grown; how Pierce County communities developed; how irrigation projects brought water to drylands; how telephone lines were erected across rugged terrain in Pierce County County; what types of businesses served residents here over time; how Pierce County people socialized in early communities; what kind of role.
