Resource Center

Tacoma Historical Society has opened a Resource Center to provide members and other researchers access to the historic newspapers and other materials the society has collected.

More than 400 bound volumes of Tacoma newspapers, dating as far back as 1883, have been cataloged, organized and placed on sturdy shelving. A grant from a friend of the society made this improvement possible. Tacoma city directories, spanning nearly a century, are available.

About 60 members turned out for an open house Jan. 10 to celebrate the opening of the center.

The center is located at 3712 S. Cedar St. in Tacoma in part of the Tacoma Denture Clinic building. Society members are requested to reserve parking in front of the dental office for patients. The society has rented space in the building since 1995.

Manned by volunteers, the center will be open from noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.

The center provides space for small meetings and houses the society’s offices and collection of historical artifacts. An artifact of the month, chosen from the society’s collection, will be on display.

The center’s gift shop features books on Tacoma history and Tacoma souvenirs. (Society members receive a 10 percent discount.)
