EXTENT/QUANTITY INFORMATION

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Timothy J. Marsh worked at Washington State University from 1985 to 2011, in News & Information and in University Relations. He served as speechwriter for University President Sam Smith from 1985 to 2000. Though officially employed as a news and feature writer with innumerable stories in WSU Today and WSU News, he had a photography background and took numerous photographs to supplement his writing. As part of his duties, he edited the WSU portion of the Pullman Community Update, a newsletter jointly produced by numerous Pullman organizations.

COLLECTION DESCRIPTION & ARRANGEMENT

The collection consists of CDs and DVDs primarily containing born-digital photographs taken by Tim Marsh during the last few years prior to his retirement from Washington State University's University Relations. Some discs contain images taken by others, and some also contain audio or video files, but the majority are photographs (tiff or jpegs). They serve primarily to document campus events during this time period. Identifying titles and dates given below are generally taken from creator notes on the disc exteriors.

The discs are arranged in two series. Series one consists of materials taken as a WSU employee, and the discs in this series consist primarily of photographs taken either for news articles (usually for WSU Today or WSU News) or for promotional advertisements. Most of the discs contain solely tiff or jpeg photographs, but a few contain video or audio files. These are arranged chronologically, with a very few discs of historical campus photographs arranged alphabetically at the end. Series two consist of discs of photographs and other documents used in the Pullman Community Update, a free newsletter produced since 1995 jointly by the City of Pullman, Pullman Chamber of Commerce, Pullman Regional Hospital, the Pullman School District, and Washington State University. The discs in this series are arranged chronologically by issue date.
