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