WSU Football
Motion Pictures, 1916-

DESCRIPTION & ARRANGEMENT

WSU Football game films exist in at least five different collections, plus are now being digitized to DVD or other format, as well as being placed online. This listing is not a "collection" in the archival sense, but rather a chronological listing of all known films and their locations, comprising several collections. The actual finding aids for these films exist at: Archives 29, Archives 204, Archives 212, Archives 188, Archives 227, and Archives 329. The materials in Archives 329 are not yet included in this list.

This listing was created by University Archivist Mark O'English in 2009.

Please be aware that many of these films are coaching films, and so will present a game outside its chronological orders. For example, a game may be presented as all the offensive plays, followed by the defensive plays, followed by the special teams plays. Not all films are of this format, but many are.

Web-friendly versions of a small number of these can be watched at our WSU Football Films Online collection.

ACCESS

The entirety of this collection is open and available for in-person research use. However, due to copyright restrictions only films which may be positively determined as originating within WSU may be reproduced for external use. Where known, the origin or rights are listed in the final column.
