Announcement Matsura Image Database



Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections is pleased to announce the completion of the Frank S. Matsura Image Collection: http://www.wsulibs.wsu.edu/holland/masc/xmatsura.html

This online image database includes over 1,200 photographs taken by Matsura between 1907 and 1913. As the only photographer in the newly incorporated city of Okanogan, Washington, Matsura was present to record the development of the city and the surrounding area including the construction of the Conconully Dam. He had a penchant for clowning around; numerous studio portraits show Matsura with others dressed in strange hats and costumes. In one series of photographs, Judge William Compton Brown's dog, Mickey, wears a hat and poses with a pipe in his mouth.

Visitors to the site may select from a series of predefined searches, click on the image icons, or enter terms in a general search box. The database utilizes CONTENT software developed at the University of Washington.  The site was made possible by a grant from the Washington State Library.
