Whitworth University Archives

The mission of the Whitworth Archives is to actively collect, process and preserve all records and materials pertaining to the history of Whitworth University. The archives will also collect and house materials related to the history of Protestantism in the Pacific Northwest, in order to support the programs and purposes of the university's Weyerhaeuser Center for Faith & Learning. As an extension of its mission, the archives will make its materials available to researchers, and provide guidance in conducting research.

The Whitworth Archives are located on the main floor of the Harriet Cheney Cowles Library, in a climate-controlled area separate from the library's book and periodical collections. Archival collections are available for use whenever the library's reference desk is staffed. However, if specific information or resources are needed, an appointment with the archivist or archival staff should be scheduled.
