Description of CD-ROM
This collection of more than 1000 150dpi photographic images
represents a portion of the Potlatch Corporation's Historical
Photograph collection. The majority of photographs in
this collection were taken after the founding in 1903 of
businesses that would become Potlatch Corporation.
Potlatch Corporation is delighted to offer this extensive collection
of photographs as a contribution to people, history, education and a
general understanding of the timber industry.
