Search Tips
1) SELECT FILTER defaults to CATEGORY so we recommend clicking a button below for Artifacts, Books, Early Members' Applications, Images, Newsletters, Slideshows or Videos. This leads to a page where you may narrow your search.
2) SEARCH TERM targets content found under All Listed Fields, Author, Birth Year, Call Number, Description, Maiden Name, Name, Surname, & Washington Territory arrival year. Note that selecting All Listed Fields will also pull in all categories. This is best for starting out with a wide search.
3) FOR could be any keyword or date of your choosing.
Example: an All Listed Fields search for “Yesler” yields a photo of Henry Yesler, a painting of him, a print of his likeness, a sculpture of him, a photo and a video of his daughter, people affiliated with his mill, and various book or newsletter citations.

A note about IMAGES
Most of these drawings, paintings, photos, and prints were given to the Pioneer Association as far back as 1889. A small number of digital images have been loaned to the Pioneer Association by family members or other organizations. Incorrect spellings likely were copied from the item.
