Register of the Arthur W. Spalding Papers II Collection 296 Center for Adventist Research James White Library Andrews University Berrien Springs, MI 49104-1440 February 2013 Processed by: Samuel Pagán Arthur W. Spalding Papers II Collection 296 Scope and Content: Arthur Whitefield Spalding (January 24, 1877 to December 15, 1953) was an Adventist author, poet, pastor, and educator. He wrote thirty books and published more than seven hundred articles and one hundred poems. He served as an editor of The Watchman Magazine, and pioneered family-life education in Seventh-day Adventist schools and colleges. In 1921 he was invited to become the secretary of the newly formed General Conference Home Commission. Through this venue he published and lectured on educating parents for child training and character development until his retirement in 1942. This collection has research materials used by Allan William Freed for his dissertation: Arthur Whitefield Spalding: A Study of His Life and Contributions to Family- Life Education in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Other than some items of biographical and personal worth, the substantive part of this collection is primarily of A. W. Spalding’s published writings spanning forty years. The collection is divided in chronological order by type of items (books, articles, etc.). It also includes writings by other authors on the topic of education for family life, and includes documents pertaining to the Home Commission Department. There is a second collection with the same name in the Center for Adventist Research. The provenance–or history–of the collection is different so they were not combined. A user of this collection needs to be aware of and peruse the other collection as they do overlap. Arrangement: The collection is divided in four major parts: Personal Items, Writings, Home Commission Related Documents, Allan William Freed’s Research Documents. Note that most arrangements within a series or sub-series are chronological. For the most part, the current arrangement reflects the original order of the collection. Provenance: The collection was donated to the Center for Adventist Research in September 2011, by Allan William Freed. Use: All users of this collection will complete the “Application to Use Unpublished Records,” and observe the regulation specified in the “Patron’s Agreement” and “Researcher’s Code of Conduct.” All records in this collection are open and available for research.
