Every day, thousands of motorists make their way along Interstate-90 as it winds through Snoqualmie Pass before sloping gracefully to the Columbia Plateau. This often-traveled highway affords beautiful views of central Washington: from rugged, snow-capped mountain peaks to rolling, golden fields. Most cars fly past Roslyn, a tiny mountain town a few miles north of Cle Elum, without realizing that it is home to a fascinating, one-of-a-kind cemetery; the state's oldest continually operated bar; and was the setting of a popular 1990s television show.
Washington Rural Heritage is pleased to announce our fourth San Juan Island collection: Orcas Island Heritage.

In addition to digitizing historic materials, we collect and preserve Washington State publications in electronic formats as part of our State Depository Program.In 1871 Frances Marie Antoinette Mack married Fayette Washington Roe. Both had been raised in upstate New York, though Faye (as he was known) was born in Virginia. The wedding occurred immediately after his graduation from West Point, and they quickly left to travel to his first army assignment in Fort Lyon, Colorado far from their quiet upstate homes.
Continuing our discussion of newspaper digitization, we have arrived at the scanning stage. The pioneer newspaper project scans in-house while the NDNP project will be outsourcing their scanning.
