Content Description

From the Collection: The Daniel Walther collection consists principally of the writings and class notes of Dr. Walther, long time professor of church history at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary. Another section is a topical file containing material collected on his various travels and on topics of interest to him. Three boxes of correspondence are also present in the collection.

Dr. Walther was a church historian with his principle area of expertise in Reformation and Pre-Reformation history, with specialization in the Albingensian Cathari and Marguerite d'Angoulême. Therefore, large segments of this collection relate to this area of knowledge. He taught classes in a number of areas of Christian and Seventh-day Adventist history as well as American history. He also had correspondence with and conducted interviews with a number of leading theologians.

Personal documents comprise one section of the collection, however, there are extensive amounts of personal items scattered throughout the collection. These consist of photographs, travel information, and program, conference, and extension school records.
