The Pacific Northwest Forum 1976-1997 (ISSN 1069-6628) is a journal published in 1976 that devotes itself to the history, environment, and literature of the Pacific Northwest. This journal was developed from the Historian’s Bicentennial Newsletter, a publication also produced by Eastern Washington State College about histories related to the United States Bicentennial. According to the journal’s first issue, the purpose of the Pacific Northwest Forum was “to provide a single publication in which the full range of historical concerns can be discussed and publicized.” This forum was published by Eastern Washington University in two series: the first being published from 1976 to 1986 (skipping 1987), and the second from 1988 to 1997.
The collection was digitized and described over the course of Fall 2024 by Lauren Terry
