Game 3 of our Library Jewels tournament showcases the power of nature against the beauty of nature. On one side, you have aerial photos of the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption. On the other, you have an 1874 book, written by Charles Scammon, about the Northwest coast’s marine mammals. You can choose your fave through the online poll below.
It's time for Game 2 of the Library Jewels tourney. This matchup features the connection between the Washington Talking Book & Braille Library and music legend Ray Charles vs. a 1910 photo album of northwestern Washington.
Just when you thought you could take a breather after the end of the Archives Treasures tourney, we throw another tournament at you. This one showcases the more interesting collections and items found in our Washington State Library. The first game of our Library Jewels tourney features a rare and historic atlas nearly 500 years ago against the precursor text to Le Jeune’s famous Chinook shorthand, by Paul Durieu.
Since we’re all in a voting mood with the General Election ending today, how about you vote in our monthly Library Jewels poll as well? Just choose from among our three October candidates.
