About
Hi, We are Jon and Andretta Schellinger, the co-owners of Schellinger Research and we are here to help you with your archival, research, and business needs.
Andretta graduated with a dual bachelors in History and Sociology from Pacific University. After that, she started her new adventure at Hawaii Pacific University for her Master’s in Diplomatic and Military studies. During her time there she applied for, and received an ORISE fellowship at JPAC (Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command). After two years as a fellow, she became a full time Archivist.
After leaving JPAC, she earned her Master’s degree and published her Master’s thesis as her first book “From Knights to Skulls.” Soon afterward, McFarland & Company approached her to republish with some modifications and her second book was born, “Aircraft Nose Art“. After moving to The Dalles, Oregon, she visited Maryhill’s Stonehenge memorial which became the focus of her third and most recent book, “The Men Beyond the Stones“.
