Biography/History
George Bedirian (1939-) began photographing the Palouse region in 1969, and in 1987 a number of his photographs were compiled and published as Palouse Country: An Essay in Photographs. An updated version would be published in 2002 simply as Palouse Country. His works have been exhibited worldwide; a number of his images were hosted in an exhibit at WSU's Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections in the summer of 1983.
Scope and Content
This collection consists of 11 color photographs of Palouse region photographs, primarily landscapes and aged farm buildings. They help document the evolution of the farm-based society and architecture of the region.
Arrangement
The images in the collection are untitled and undated (the framing for each was signed and dated by Bedirian in 1985), and are in no particular order save that the seven larger (11"x17") are located under the four smaller (8"x10") images.
