Rare collection of 19th Century newspapers from Washington State, majority from 1800s, about 90-95% from prior to 1906.

Most from Bellingham area, very early issues, and some are bundles of many different issues, I have taken some photos, but there is much here.

I would say all of it would fill a 3/4 ton pick up with a canopy.

Super rare material that you just will not ever find again.

Here is a brief list of many of the titles; Many of which are from the Washington Territory Period prior to Statehood in 1889.

The Weekly Post-Intelligencer
Bellingham Bay Mail
Bellingham Bay Reveille
Whatcom Reveille
The Weekly Reveille
The Daily Reveille
Daily Herald

From years ago, when I first got them I also remember titles from Olympia and other areas going back to 1850s-1870s. Too much to look through, I also have other bound issues from Bellingham not in photos, that would be part of this lot.

They need a new home, first serious party gets the lot.

They should be in an archive or museum, I'm not certain, but I believe some of this material is not on file anywhere.
