Washington Library Association History Project
The Washington Library Association (WLA) has a rich past, but the archival material documenting its history were confined to over a dozen boxes, stacked away, collecting dust. Although there was interest in the WLA in examining its history, they couldn’t spare the resources to thoroughly examine the material. Our capstone team, aided by WLA historians, went through the boxes, organizing the material, discarding surplus documents, and selecting items of particular interest. We also created fact sheets covering a decade of WLA history, as well as creating finding aids to help anyone wanting to use the material in the future.
