Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collection
"Known mainly for its infamous collapse in 1940, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge continues to hold a place in engineering and Pacific Northwest history. This collection contains images and text drawn from the University of Washington Special Collections Division and the Museum of History and Industry. They document the creation of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, its collapse and subsequent studies involving its aerodynamics, and finally the construction of a second bridge spanning the Narrows."
