Northwest Room digital archives
Some of the digital archives curated by the Northwest Room might be useful in your research.
Biographical files
For over 100 years, librarians at SPL clipped the newspapers for biographical information.
These clippings include obituaries on pioneers, but they also contain all kinds of biographical information from papers in Spokane and around the Northwest.
High school yearbooks
Several hundred Spokane high scool yearbooks are now available online.
You can view these yearbooks in your web browser without downloading any files or additional software.
These yearbooks are searchable, so if you have a name of someone who attended high school in Spokane take a look.
House & neighborhood history
We have collected quite a bit of information on researching house history and previous ownership using public records.
Digitized photo archives
These collections emphasize the homes, buildings, streets and activities in and around Spokane. They might provide some interesting context to your search.
