If you are on the Walla Walla University campus, all of these titles can be found with the starting call number LD5721 in the Heritage collection in the Peterson Memorial Library Lobby.  If you are on another Adventist campus, you may be able to access some of these titles locally by searching for the title in your local catalog. If that is not an option, speak with your local library about Interlibrary Loan possibilities. 

Some faculty may also have information about them, or articles they have published indexed in the SDA Periodical Index, which can be accessed on the database page. Many of these articles may be linked to full-text in the GC archives where available. 

Finally, you may find photographs in the Archives Digital Photo Collection by searching for the faculty member's name. 

Any additional information will be unindexed. You may find some articles or photographs by browsing through Collegian or Mountain Ash periodicals from their time on campus if you are on campus and may set aside time to browse in Historical Periodicals. We are unable to perform such searches for distance requests at this time.
