Archives spotlights logging history

October 28, 2010

Not even Game 1 of the World Series could keep nearly 75 people from attending Thursday night’s logging history event at the State Archives in Olympia. The three-hour program, called “Logging in Washington: High Climbing and Tall Timber,” included a 1920s silent film on the old days of the Schafer Brothers Logging Company of Aberdeen. It also featured presentations by Schafer family member Peter Reid and two generations of Washington loggers, as well as a logging photo exhibit and a tour of the Archives facility. These photos shown here were taken from the film.

October is Washington Archives Month. Go here to learn more about Archives Month events, or to view and download a PDF of the 2010 poster as well as previous posters.
