From Our Corner

(Image courtesy of Washington State Archives) When we began the Archives Treasures tourney last week, we knew some of the “games” between our coolest and most interesting items and collections in the State Archives would be close. Case in point is Game 6, in which Washington’s first territorial prison documents edged Muhammad Ali’s Washington boxing license application, 53 percent to 47 percent. Our next contest starts this afternoon, so watch for it.

It’s time for Game 6 of our Archives Treasures tourney. This one pairs photos of Washington’s first territorial prison with boxing great Muhammad Ali’s Washington boxing license application. You have until 9 a.m. Thursday to vote below on which one you like best. Washington’s first territorial prison Muhammad Ali’s WA boxing license application [poll id=”57″]
