The Tacoma Public Library has some phenomenal local history research tools available on their website that would allow you to delve into the history of one or more University of Washington Tacoma campus buildings. If you are interested in pursuing this option, here is what I would recommend:

1. Begin by viewing the signage on the outside of a University of Washington Tacoma campus building, which will give you the basics of when it was built, what it’s original name was, and some brief history of the structure.

2. Visit the Tacoma Public Library’s website (Links to an external site.), and navigate to either the Image Archives (Links to an external site.) or the Buildings Index (Links to an external site.) (or both!), and try searching for the name of the building in question. Some of the primary things you will find will be historic photographs and information about historic newspaper articles.  For the images, you can view these online without having to visit the library. For the newspaper articles, if you’re interested  in seeing those, you’d need to visit the physical library.

3. For your paper, focus on something you found interesting about the history of the building, citing as your source the local history artifact(s) that help you tell that story – newspaper clippings, historic photographs, etc.

-Write a 500‐600 word paper (roughly one single‐spaced page or two double‐spaced pages) that addresses your research question and discusses the event and how it informs the theme of this course. The response must include a summary of/reference to one credible source on the topic.  Cite your source correctly using the format of your choosing (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.). Be sure to include the date, time, location, and documentation of your attendance with your paper.
