Woodrow WhiddenResearch Papers for E.J. Waggoner: From the Physician of Good News to the Agent of Division

Content Description

This collection is wholly Whidden’s research materials for the Waggoner book. It includes correspondence, an exhaustive compilation of Waggoner’s writings, as well as supplementary materials associated with events in Waggoner’s life from the 1880s to early 1900s. All of the writings of Waggoner, Ellen White, and others included in this collection have been keyed or scanned into a computer. The materials in this collection are printouts of the text of the letters or publications. The same is true for some other documents as well. There are also some photocopies of original documents, but this is limited. The sub-series, “Complete Words of E. J. Waggoner,” is all computer printout of text documents. This sub-series will be a little challenging to use due to the quantity as well as the inexact divisions between titles and dates, and the difficulty in quickly seeing the source. It is a valuable resource but it will be a little challenging to access.
