The Center for Pacific Northwest Studies collects private papers, organizational, and institutional records documenting economic, social, cultural, and political trends significant to the study of the Pacific Northwest. The collections include a few items from the late eighteenth century, but most date from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. The format of the Center's holdings vary widely, ranging from photographs, maps, architectural drawings, audio and video tapes, diaries, letters, business ledgers and account books, newspapers, and scrapbooks.

The Center's collections are especially strong in regional political and cultural history, and in the area of economic development, particularly fishing and fish processing. While the collections cover Alaska to Oregon, Idaho, western Montana, and British Columbia, it is richest in the northern Puget Sound area, specifically Whatcom, Skagit, and Snohomish counties.
