Photos show Pullman Herald final issue, first issues of Pullman’s Community Voice and Pullman Community Update, and boxes containing Herald and Voice microfilm.
Over the years the history of Pullman and Whitman County has been recorded by weekly and monthly newspapers. These newspapers include:
•The Pullman Herald weekly, 1888-1989. Its last issue was Feb. 4, 1989. •Pullman's Community Voice monthly, (13 issues) Nov. 30, 1989-Dec. 26, 1990. It filled the void after the Herald went out of business. Mitch and Mary Jo Chandler were the publishers. Judy McDonald was the editor and reporter.
•Pullman Community Update monthly. This free circulation newspaper began publishing in June 1995 and is mailed to Pullman and Albion residents. It is a collaborative effort of the City of Pullman, Pullman Chamber of Commerce, Pullman Regional Hospital, the Pullman School District and Washington State University. Jane Fredrickson of Phrase Factory is the newspaper’s designer and Nella Letizia provides editorial assistance.
According to Pullman resident Tim Marsh, “Those researching our city and our county find microfilm of newspapers invaluable. Holland Library at WSU has an excellent selection of newspapers on microfilm.”
But, until now WSU Holland and Terrell Libraries did not have any issues of Pullman's Community Voice or Pullman Community Update on microfilm.
This past summer, Marsh personally undertook a fund-drive to pay for having Pullman’s Community Voice microfilmed by Proquest in Wooster, Ohio.
The drive was success. Because more funds were raised than needed, the 1995 issues of Pullman Community Update were also microfilmed. As a result, microfilm reels of all of the Voice and the 1995 Update have been donated to the microfilm collection in Washington State University’s Holland Library and to the Whitman County Historical Society Archives.
Marsh said he was “grateful this effort was so well supported and I encourage those interested donating to support microfilming Pullman Community Update issues from 1996 to the present” to please contact the Whitman County Historical Society, PO Box 67, Colfax WA 99111. Society secretary is Ed Garretson, epgjr@wsu.edu, 509-336-3901.
Funding the microfilming were personal donations from Pullman, Uniontown and Winlock residents.

The Pullman Herald weekly newspaper, 1888-1989. Its last issue was Feb. 4, 1989.
--Pullman Herald was published starting with its first issue on Nov. 3, 1988.
--The Herald published its last issue on Feb. 4, 1989.
(Some sources say the Herald bit the dust in 1988. Wrong. The year was 1989.)
