The Whittier College Department of Special
Collections houses an important set of
historical, cultural, and literary archives. The
holdings in these collections represent an
important linkage to the College's Quaker
heritage. The growth and development of the
Special Collections has always been closely
intertwined with the College's history and
mission.
The Special Collections are housed on the ground
floor of Wardman Library. These include:
Religious Society of Friends
(Quaker);
John Greenleaf Whittier;
Richard Nixon;
Jessamyn West;
Jan de Hartog;
and
Lola Hoffman. The Nixon Room, located on the top
floor of the Library, houses memorabilia donated
to the College by the thirty-seventh president
of the United States, Richard M. Nixon.
Visitors to the Special Collections must see a
Library staff member for assistance. Items in
the Special Collections are primarily limited to
library use only. Most of the books in these
collections are listed on the Whittier College
online catalog, WALDO.
Hours of use for the Special Collections are:
Monday - Friday: 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Researchers are encouraged to contact the
Special Collections staff at 562-907-4246 before
visiting the Library.
Photocopying and Scanning
Due to the rare nature and delicate condition of
many of the materials in the Special
Collections, items may be photocopied or scanned
by permission only.
