KRL Northwest History Collection
Kitsap Regional Library's resources in local history include two special non-circulating collections located in the library's Downtown Bremerton Branch.
The Northwest Collection contains official documents from state and local agencies as well as published histories of Kitsap County, Washington State, and the Pacific Northwest. The pamphlet files feature news clippings and other ephemera related to Kitsap County and its various communitites.
The Puget Sound Naval History Collection consists of photographs, photocopies of scrapbooks dated from 1901-1915, copies of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard Salute, assorted brochures, information on individual ships, personal reminiscences, various published sources, and notes and clippings used in the writing of Nipsic to Nimitz: A Centennial History of Puget Sound Naval Shipyard by Louise M. Reh and Helen Lou Ross.
Materials in both the Northwest Collection and the Puget Sound Naval History Collection are catalogued and listed in Kitsap Regional Library's online catalog. Library call numbers will indicate if an item is in the Northwest Collection or PSNS Collection. Please ask the staff at the Reference Desk for assistance in retrieving items from either of these special collections.
