Harold Edward Holland served as Director of Libraries at Pepperdine University from 1981 to 1989. While at Pepperdine, Holland
was involved with several major projects and improvements that included consolidating various collections, implementing the
computerized Virginia Tech Library System, expanding the University Archives, participating in the USC electronic library
consortium, and developing the Pepperdine Plaza and other center libraries. In addition to these activities, Holland was instrumental
in the planning and renovation of Payson Library. Holland retired from the position of Library Director in 1989 but remained
working at Pepperdine University in Special Collections and University Archives for several years.
Before his appointment at Pepperdine, Holland served as an Associate Professor in the Department of Library Science at the
University of Missouri-Columbia. In 1976, Holland received his D.L.S. from the University of Missouri-Columbia and subsequently
his dissertation
Religious Periodicals in Development of Nashville, Tennessee as a Regional Publishing Center, 1830-1880 was published.
Holland also taught at Pahlavic University (Shiraz, Iran), Appalachian Teachers College, the University of Oklahoma, and Ibaraki
Christian College (Japan). In addition to his teaching duties, he served as a minister of the Churches of Christ in Tennessee.
Holland was very active in the library community writing articles for various publications and serving in many organizations
including the ALA (American Library Association), EDUCOM, CAL/PALS (California Private Academic Libraries), and the AICCU
(Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities).
The bulk of the collection documents Holland's time as Library Director at Pepperdine University from 1981 to 1989. Included
are articles written by Holland both before and during his time at Pepperdine; notes, meeting minutes, and programs from conferences
Holland attended; correspondence between Holland and other administrators both inside and outside of the University; plans
for Payson Library's renovation; files documenting the librarians' efforts to achieve faculty status at Pepperdine University;
memos, notes and photographs regarding a flood in Payson library which damaged a large amount of library books; and notes,
photographs and other materials used to plan library exhibits.
The collection is organized alphabetically by folder title.
The collection was arranged and described by Katie Richardson and Catie Golitzin in January 2012.
