The Pacific Northwest Historians Guild brings together scholars concerned with the study and dissemination of regional history. Founded in Nov. 1980, the Guild fosters teaching and appreciation of Northwest history and promotes communication among regional historians.
We look forward to seeing you at our monthly Zoom lectures and other events in 2024.
Join us for the Guild’s November 21 meeting and hear author Tim Greyhavens speak about his new book, Artistic and Life-Like: Photography in Washington, 1850-1900
Via Zoom starting at 7 pm. Thursday November 21
Artistic and Life-Like: Photography in Washington, 1850-1900 is the first detailed examination of nineteenth-century photography in our state, and Greyhavens has structured it around key themes that illuminate the social, economic, and physical aspects of growth in the state as portrayed through 200 rarely seen photographs. Released in May, Kirkus Reviews has described Tim’s book as “a masterpiece of local history.”
