Cultural record keepers: The Myron Eells northwest history collection, Whitman College

Abstract

Myron Eells (1843-1907) was a Pacific Northwest native, missionary, scholar, and collector. His books, papers, and artifacts, which were donated to Whitman College after his death, became important nuclei of the college's library, archives, and museum. Today these collections are curated by the Whitman College and Northwest Archives and the Maxey Museum at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington. © 2008 by the University of Texas.
