Photo Library

Welcome to the College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences (CAHNRS) and WSU Extension Photo Archives.

This collection includes more than 500 images on a wide variety of topics taken by WSU faculty and staff over many years. The collection includes current and historic images relating to research, teaching and extension work as well agriculture in the state of Washington.

This collection of digital images is offered as a free service in order to provide the public with a wide range of current and historic images relating primarily to agriculture in Washington state and Washington State University’s contributions to agriculture through research, extension and teaching.

Text searches will return thumbnails of all images with matching text in their descriptions. Click on the image to see the highest resolution available. (You can resize the high-resolution image in Explorer 7 and Opera by holding the Ctrl key and scrolling with your mouse wheel.)

Photo Release

All photographers taking photographs intended for use in any University publication of a marketing or a public relations nature, such as newsletters, brochures, view books, promotional items, or other such material, must obtain a signed release form (pdf) from any student, faculty member, staff person, or member of the public who is visibly recognizable in the photograph. Crowd scenes taken in a public location where no single person is the dominant feature are exempt.

Releases also must be obtained for photographs used on the Web. These rules are not in effect when photographs are taken of news events, but photographs taken for news purposes require a release for reuse in marketing materials.
