2. Subject/Correspondence Files
Scope and Content
The collection contains professional and personal papers of Howard A. White dating from 1938 to 1991. The collection contains chronological correspondence files; subject and correspondence files from White's office at Pepperdine University; files related to university boards (including the Board of Trustees, Board of Regents, and University Board); White's appointment books; notes and copies of speeches and sermons; and personal files including biographical information, personal and family history, and notes made in the course of writing the book Crest of a Golden Wave.
White documented many aspects of Pepperdine's history and people, and made extensive notes and reports about the university. As a result, the collection also contains correspondence and files originally created by other individuals including M. Norvel Young, William S. Banowsky, Thomas Bost, Jerry Hudson, Donald Miller, and others.
Items are primarily paper, but the collection also includes photographs and large blueprints.
