Historical Student Newspapers
WOU Archives & Scholarly Communication department is currently undertaking the large task of digitizing all issues of WOU's student newspapers to make available on our repository.
Digital copies of the newspapers will continue to be uploaded here as we finish processing them, but it will likely be several years before all issues and titles are available online.
If you are looking for a specific issue or have questions about a specific time during WOU's history, please email your request to the WOU Archives at libarchives@wou.edu.
