I am forwarding this info to make everyone aware of the work of the State
Library in making history more accessible.

In addition to the newspaper listing below they are also participating in
the Chronicling America <http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/> website, which
is hosted by the Library of Congress.  More pages from newspapers across
Washington will be added throughout 2010.  [Its a bit confusing to keep
track of where all these newspapers are...]


For another list of many of State newspapers,

The Puget Sound Argus of Port Townsend (1882-1883) has been added to
Washington State Library's Online Historic Newspapers, available at
http://www.sos.wa.gov/history/newspapers_detail.aspx?t=44. The collection
now includes approximately nine years of Port Townsend newspapers, ranging
from 1875 to 1883. The collection also contains newspapers from ten other
Washington cities.



Additional newspapers will be added as soon as indexing is completed. Our
volunteer indexers are currently hard at work on the Walla Walla Statesman
(1873-1884) and Seattle's Puget Sound Dispatch (1871-1880). To see our
entire Online Historic Newspaper collection, go to

This is a collection of correspondence to and from William Pickering from

organized into folders of incoming and outgoing letters.

*Under Pioneer Life and Territorial and State Government*

*Correspondence of Fayette McMullin,
1857-1858*<http://www.sos.wa.gov/history/publications_detail.aspx?p=148>
**

This collection consists of some original correspondence of the Washington
Territorial Governor Fayette McMullin. It contains 18 letters of incoming
and outgoing correspondence pertaining to Territorial governmental matters.
One letter is written to Gov. McMullin from Wm. M. Morrow, requesting that
he not grant a reprieve to Chief Leschi for his involvement in the Indian
Wars in Washington Territory. Mr. Morrow was the Representative in the
Territorial Legislature for Sawamish County in 1855. There are also two
copies of letters from Captain George Pickett describing relations with
local Indian tribes in northwest Washington.

*Under County and Regional History*

*Olympia* <http://www.sos.wa.gov/history/publications_detail.aspx?p=154> by
Hazard Stevens

There was a report by Hazard Stevens to the trustees of the bondholders of
the Olympia Light and Power Company dated Nov. 20, 1891, Boston, Mass. in
which Stevens submitted the report following a recent trip to Olympia and
examination of the charter, property, franchises, and business, both present
and prospective of the Olympia Light and Power Company, as affording
security for proposed issue of bonds. That report of 1891 included a section
of information and financial statements of the Olympia Light and Power
Company. This edition seems to be an abbreviated edition with information
only about the city of Olympia, WA. It does not include any information
about Olympia Light and Power Co. It is unclear whether this was published
separately earlier or later; however, it is the same text as the 1891 ed.
