BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Arthur Douglas Woodall (September 25, 1952 ), the son of Japheus P. and Estherleana Woodall, was born and reared in Anderson, Indiana. He has three brothers and one sister. He was educated at local schools and graduated from Anderson High School. He received a BS degree from Ball State University in 1975. For the past 30 years, he has worked for the city of Anderson in the Water Pollution Control Department. As a result of his interest in photography and the history of African Americans in Indiana, Woodall travelled to several counties throughout the state and took photographs of many historic properties related to black history. Most of these sites are on the National Register of Historic Places. Sources: Materials in the collection Telephone interview with Arthur D. Woodall conducted by Wilma L. Moore on February 25, 2014
