The Center for Adventist Research is a leading documentary collection for the study of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, its predecessors and related groups, from the Millerite movement of the mid nineteenth century to the present. The Center holds publications in all formats on all aspects of the Seventh-day Adventist Church--its mission, theology, and activities--including those from official and unofficial sources. The center serves as a Branch Office of the Ellen G. White Estate, the rare material repository for the James White Library and as the Andrews University Archives and Records Center.

Any conclusions, published or unpublished, drawn by researchers using Center for Adventist Research resources are the responsibility of the researcher and do not necessarily reflect those of the Center for Adventist Research, Andrews University, Ellen G.  White Estate, or the Seventh-day Adventist church.
