Archiving the Adventist Web In the fall of 2006 an exciting new project was launched at the Center. The rapid proliferation of Adventist related Internet resources has led us to begin archiving the Adventist Web. The Website Archive project creates an electronic duplicate of Internet sites that are operated by entities and organizations in the Seventh-day Adventist Yearbook. We also include as many other Adventist related organizations as possible regardless of their orientation. While difficult to fully identify, we are also attempting to preserve copies of selected forums and blogs.

August 14-21, 2005, the Center and the Theological Seminary are conducting
a New England Adventist History Tour that will be led by Jerry Moon and
Merlin Burt. This tour allows seminary students to earn academic credit
and provides a rich opportunity to connect with Adventist heritage.
Ellen
White and Current Issues Symposium
On April 4, 2005, the
Center hosted the first “Ellen White and Current Issues Symposium”
in the chapel of the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary. We are
right now in the process to publish the papers of the symposium. The booklet
will be probably available at the end of July.
First
Publication in the Heritage Treasures Series
Our first publication
in the Heritage Treasures Series is now available. We have an original
copy in our vault of the 24 page tract by William Foy entitled, The Christian
Experience of William E. Foy Together with the Two Visions He Received
in the Months of Jan. and Feb. 1842. This tract was published in Portland,
Maine in 1845. Our plan is to publish two tracts a year in the Heritage
Treasures Series. We are considering publishing the Hiram Edson manuscript
next fall. These beautifully printed tracts will be treasured by those
who appreciate Adventist history.
Review
and Herald Donated to CAR the Rare Materials from their Editorial Library
On
December 15, 2004,
the Review and Herald donated to CAR the rare materials from their editorial
library. Merlin Burt and Jim Ford packed up the several thousand volumes
and brought them to Andrews in a truck. We are in the midst of accessioning
them. The collection will remain distinct as a legacy of the Review and
Herald. The publishing house is to be commended for thinking of how this
collection can be most effectively used by the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
This is perhaps the most significant transfer of Millerite and early Adventist
materials since Potomac University was moved to the newly formed Andrews
University some 45 years ago.
Significant
Donation of Ellen G. White Rare Materials
In November the Center
received a significant donation of Ellen G. White rare materials from
Judy Blodgett which were collected by her late husband Ralph. Ralph spent
much of his adult life collecting nearly every early publication by Ellen
White. Not only were we able to expand our own Ellen White holdings but
this donation also enabled the main office of the Ellen G. White Estate
to complete their collection of original Ellen White Testimony for the
Church tracts.
White
Estate Library Integrated
Last April the new
integrated Center for Adventist Research was dedicated. By the end of
2004 most of the White Estate Library is now integrated with the rest
of the collection.
