Our digital collections database puts thousands of historical items at your fingertips! Ephemera, artifacts, recordings, and more. It’s a terrific history research resource and a lot of fun to peruse. Try searching for a favorite topic and see what comes up.
You can explore a selection of Coast Salish artifacts through three-dimensional digital models on the Sketchfab platform! These artifacts were scanned into 3-D format to create a Coast Salish Digital History Box, a new learning tool from WSHS. No matter where their classroom is located, educators can use the digital history box to engage students in learning about Coast Salish culture. WSHS is currently in the process of developing additional Digital History Boxes and will add more 3-D scans as we build those educator tools.
COLUMBIAMagazine publishes fascinating articles about Pacific Northwest history. You’ll enjoy the historic photographs, maps, and ephemera, too. The magazine archives provide a valuable online resource for research, as well as leisure reading. Dive in!
The Washington State Historical Society’s YouTube channel features playlists and recorded public programs on a wide range of historical topics. If you’ve missed some of our online programs, this is a great place to catch them!
