New Database: "History Makers Makes its Debut" (Bios of Elected Officials/Others from State of Washington)
From a Between the Lines (Washington St. Library) Blog Post by Rand Simmons:
History Makers is a biographical database of Washington elected officials and activists from territorial times to present. Each individual’s entry includes a photograph, links, and basic biographical information, for example, occupations, offices, affiliations, birth and death dates, and marriage information. To date: Governors, Lieutenant Governors, Secretaries of States, Treasurers, U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives are included. This resource is made possible by dedicated volunteers and will continue to be updated.
Direct to History Makers Database
