Additional Resources

The Kittitas County Historical Museum has an extensive collection of materials relating to Kittitas County history, heritage, and culture from the distant past to the present, including many historic photographs and archival materials. Due to a lack of resources (including volunteer and staffing), less than 10% of our collection overall has been digitized (by being photographed and/or scanned) and made accessible for researchers.

We have brought together a list of local and regional resources for anyone interested in learning more about Kittitas County history, heritage, and culture. These resources have been digitized and made available to the public through a number of partnering agencies, organizations, and other sources.

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of resources and may be added to over time. Sources are listed by alphabetically and by category.
