Washington State Library Digital Collections: Historical Maps
From the desk of Jeff Martin:
Maps add a visual element to history. The State Archives and the State Library hold extensive map collections dealing with the Washington State and the surrounding region. Maps for these digital collections are drawn from state and territorial government records, historic books, federal documents and the Northwest collection.
Protecting the treasures of Washington State, or a peek into the vault.
The Washington State Library has a collection of very special books we keep in our “vault”. This includes the Territorial Library Collection, as well as many other beautiful and rare books. These books are old and fragile and special considerations need to be used to view them. If you make an appointment and travel to Olympia during the library's open hours, we would love to help you view these rare books. However thanks to the wonders of modern digitization many of these titles are available in digital format through the internet archive.
