Floods, Eruptions & more from Whitman County Heritage
Image
Staff at the Whitman County Library, a Washington Rural Heritage participant, have been hard at work this summer and fall adding almost 200 more items to the Whitman County Heritage digital collection.
Many images of natural disasters in the region -- including the Palouse River Flood of 1910 and the aftermath of the 1980 Mount Saint Helens eruption -- are now accessible online, as well as early images from the very small communities of Ewan and Revere, Washington, west of St. John.

The Athenaeum Club and the private collection of Bob Bowen have also become sources of historic images and material for Whitman County Heritage this year, contributing to an already wonderful and rich digital collection. We salute Patti Cammack and staff of Whitman County Library for their continued effort in providing access to these important resources through the Washington Rural Heritage project.
