STATEMENT

The personal papers of Andrews University faculty and staff contain records which document the intellectual, administrative, cultural, and social environment of this campus. Faculty and staff personal papers, separate from records associated with University business, containing significant information on teaching, research, and professional activities should be preserved for future generations. This is a function of the Adventist Heritage Center. Faculty and staff are encouraged to contact the curator of the Adventist Heritage Center to discuss the possible preservation of their personal pagers.
