Local Geneology
Society's Materials Become Wardman Library Special
Collection
The Whittier
Area Geneological Society (WAGS) has moved its extensive
heritage collection of more than 3,000 items--including
family histories, biographies, histories on American
settlers, research guides, and works on Native Americans,
among others--to the Bonnie Bell Wardman Library, where it
will be available to students of the College, as well as
visiting researchers. The move came at the suggestion of
WAGS President John
Hergesheimer,
himself a 1954 alumnus of the College. To read the
