Archives tourney: Crosby Store ledger reaches final

We have our two finalists in the Archives Treasures tourney. The 1859-60 Crosby Store ledger made it to the title game after defeating the 1906 Tenino Oregon Trail marker photo in the second semifinal, 60 percent to 40 percent. The ledger now faces the formidable 1969 Black Panther protest photos, which have cruised to easy wins throughout the tournament. The online poll for the championship game starts early this afternoon, so be ready to vote!

Archives tourney: Oregon Trail marker to semis

Three of the four semifinal slots in our Archives Treasures tourney are filled after the 1906 Tenino Oregon Trail marker photo eliminated the documents of Washington Territory’s first prison, 55 percent to 45 percent. The marker photo joins the 1969 Black Panther protest photos and the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption documents in the semis. The fourth semi position will go to the winner of today’s quarterfinal matchup between the Washington territorial seal and 1859-60 Crosby Store ledger.
