And the “Archives treasures” poll winner is…

January 27, 2012

The votes are in, our online poll is closed, and we know the winner of our January “Archives treasures” contest featuring items in our State Archives: the Washington territorial seal.

The seal received 38 percent of the vote, edging the boxing license applications submitted by heavyweight greats Muhammad Ali and George Foreman (33 percent) and a photo of the Legislative Building’s construction (29 percent). Thanks to all who voted. We'll do it again in February and every other month this year.

Now the focus shifts to the State Library. Next week we’ll introduce you to three “contestants” in a similar online poll featuring some of the great collections and other items in the State Library. Make sure to check it out.
