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 has many collections that document local history related to the environment. Using these collections does take a little bit more time so plan accordingly. The website has finding aids you can search to see if there are relevant collections or contact archives@whitman.edu for any inquiries.
Open to Whitman affiliates Monday-Friday, 9-noon and 1-4pm.
Closed on college holidays.
There are potentially U.S. government documents on the federal and state level that are relevant for primary source research on natural resources. Some of these are available in other digital collections linked on this page, some are available on the websites of the individual government agencies, and some may be available through larger government document platforms. For more information about finding government documents, see our Government Documents guide.
