Fall 2025 SIS Student Showcase

Vaughn Haynes - Special Collections Displays

About the Project

The Purdy-Kresge Library at WSU is filled with display cases highlighting their special collections. However, most of those displays were from pre-pandemic times, so it was time to update those cases. With help from collections manager Paul Bishop, I went through the special collections with the most interesting material and designed displays around multiple collections.
