We initiated the book series, called Messages, as gifts to our friends and to the Pacific Northwest community at large. They are collections of extraordinary art and photography, maps and textiles, graphic arts and stories, tales and poems, and reflections of the characteristic essence of each state.

Our goal is to offer these books to our grantees and other non-profit organizations as a useful tool.You may use them to thank generous donors or board members, or to encourage additional giving.

The Messages Book Series

To honor the legacy of this region and those who have infused it with character and vitality, the Murdock Trust publishes five full-color publications featuring each of five Pacific Northwest states.

The Murdock Trust offers up to 40 copies of Messages at no charge to organizations. Click here to order, or you may call 360-694-8415.

	We began the series with *Messages from Oregon*, the state where Jack Murdock began his creative work at Tektronix, seeding the Trust’s endowment.
	The series continues with *Messages from Washington*, the state where Jack lived and established a Piper aircraft distributorship.
	The third in the series is *Messages from Montana*, a state draped over the continental divide like a saddle over a fine steed.
	The fourth publication is *Messages from Alaska*, focusing on the frontier state where so many of Jack’s Supercub planes were flown.
	The final book in the series is *Messages from Idaho,*whose cover serves as a reminder of that state’s fine trout species.
