Found inWSU Press (website), viewed March 16, 2021: Our story (The land grant school now known as Washington State University opened on a frigid winter morning in January 1892. The institution grew and added a scholarly publishing division in the 1920s, primarily to distribute faculty research. Harnessing a vision of revitalization and expansion in the late 1980s, the re-launched press began releasing titles centered on regional history. One of those, Renegade Tribe, was the first major work published on the Palouse Indians, and received the Washington State Book Award. Since then, Washington State University (WSU) Press has published over two hundred titles, and received numerous honors and awards.) About WSU Press (A member of the Association of University Presses, WSU Press is known for its established editorial program focused on the American West, particularly the history, prehistory, environment, politics, and culture of the greater Northwest region. The Press has published Northwest Science, the academic journal of the Northwest Scientific Association, since 1934.)
