About David Malone
My main responsibilities revolve around serving as a manuscripts librarian and archivist for the College's archive and the Library's special collections that include materials relating to the College’s history, as well as rare books and the personal papers and records of notable Christian individuals and organizations. Additionally I provide bibliographic and research instruction for various general education and upper-division courses; patron reference and collection development for general, archival, and special collections; and cataloging and processing of archival and special collections material. I also provide special subject lectures for various general education and upper-division courses, such as Historical Inquiry, Age of Johnson, New Testament Literature, as well as lectures to outside and alumni organizations.
I welcome the opportunity to assist students, faculty, and others with their research needs, so feel free to contact me with any of your research concerns.
I serve as an elder at Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Warrenville. I enjoy creating and developing websites and reading biographies and technology-related materials.
