The Whitman College and Northwest Archives curates materials that document the history of Whitman College and the Walla Walla region as well as rare books and other special collections housed in the Penrose Library. The archives collects, preserves, provides access to, and promotes the use of these materials for teaching, learning, and research. The collections below reflect a small portion of our overall collections that have been digitized. For a more complete list of our physical holdings, see our collection guides.
