Articles, 1945-1980
Content Description
This archival group contains the material written and collected by those involved with planning the Palouse Hills Living History Farm. It consists of twenty-six typed reports dealing with various aspects of rural life in the Palouse from 1890 to 1915, twenty-two sets of cassette tapes (thirty-eight tapes in all) and typed transcripts of seven of those sets which are oral history interviews with Palouse area residents. There are also eight books dealing... with farm animals, three 4-H clothing bulletins, maps of the proposed farm, and material for a living history summer course taught at the university.
This group also contains many brochures on living history sites in the United States and many newspaper clippings about the University Museum's farm project. Another very interesting series in this group is the large number of photographs, both period and contemporary, of farming methods, fashion, domestic architecture, and household furnishings. These photographs are either in the typed reports or in the two file boxes of photographs. Some were taken by persons associated with the living farm museum project, others were obtained from the University of Idaho, Washington State University, Eastern Washington State Historical Society, Idaho Historical Society, or from one of several private collections.
