Pat Jollota is synonymous with local history in Vancouver. Since moving to the area in 1982, she has dedicated herself to preserving and sharing the rich stories of our past. Her work at the Clark County Historical Museum, combined with her prolific authorship—including the popular Naming Clark County—has solidified her as a key figure in our historical narrative.
Since then, Pat’s authorship of local history has been prolific, writing Darkness Next Door, Downtown Vancouver, Camas, Legendary Locals of Vancouver, Vanishing Vancouver, The Murder of Joanne Dewey in Vancouver, Washington, and Haunted Vancouver Washington. Pat Jollota’s story is one of a historian who has made history while saving and sharing it.
