The Special Collections & Archives is the official home for Whittier College's historical documents, photographs, publications, and other campus related material. The collection is a representative record of Whittier College history and the surrounding Whittier community. The archive provides primary resource materials for students, faculty, alumni, scholars, and researchers.
Core Mission: To provide access and research services to Whittier College affiliates and independent researchers. We appraise, collect, arrange, describe, and preserve materials of historical value that are directly related to Whittier College students, faculty, alumni, and college affiliations within the local community
Within our Archives & Special Collections, our goal is to provide access to historical materials about or produced by Whittier College. However, as you review our digital holdings, you may encounter images or language that is harmful, offensive, or misrepresentative. These instances do not align with our current values and practices at Whittier College.
