Mission
The Island County Historical Society Museum seeks to promote a greater
understanding of the county’s past
and present through the management and expansion of its library and archival
collections.
The Research Library and Archives is located on the second floor of the Museum and is open to the public each Friday. If you are interested in visiting our library and/or conducting research or need assistance on a particular research topic, we request that you make an appointment by calling the Museum at 360.678.3310.
Our library houses a wide array of material documenting this geographical region including private papers, organizational, business and institutional records, oral histories, correspondence, photographs, printed material, scrapbooks, maps and architectural drawings, diaries, audio and video tapes and electronic records, artwork, and ephemera which describe Island County from earliest times to the present.
Reproduction of Material
There is a fee applied to assisted research within our library and archives. A minimum of $25 is requested when research assistance by a staff member is required.
Copies: Photo copying of material is allowed, however there is a fee applied at $0.25 per copy. Photo copies may be made of non-archival printed material from the library and files and must be performed by Museum staff. There is no limit to the amount requested.
