Dear list members, The Washington State Library is located on the Capitol Campus about 100 yards south of the Legislative Building. The Regional Archives are located across Capital Blvd. from the Legislative Bldg. (State Capitol Bldg.) and right next door to the old Thurston County Court House. The URL for the Washington State Library is http://www.statelib.wa.gov/ The documents you are looking for will be on microfilm in the Washington Room which is located in the basement. It's a room dedicated to anything authored in the state. Don't get confused between the Washington State Archives and the Regional Archives. They are located in the same building but are quite different. The Regional Archives hod records from governments lower in the chain than is State Government. All of the 39 counties original Territorial Records are archived there. The Olympia branch maintains the records for Southwest Washington Counties. You must call them for an appointment. Call 360.753-1684. GOOD LUCK!!!!! Harlan Pittelkau Lacey, WA hpittelkau@uswest.net -----Original Message----- From: James R.
