IMPORTANT ELECTRONIC DATABASES
The Center is responsible for developing and maintaining several important databases. These include the following.

Seventh-day Adventist Periodical Index
The Seventh-day Adventist Periodical Index began publication in 1971 and is currently governed by a special board which operates under the auspices of the Association of Seventh-day Adventist Librarians (ASDAL). The editor and editorial operation is located at the Center for Adventist Research. Available online the Index covers periodical articles published by and about Seventh-day Adventists. With nearly 800,000 entries from 57 titles, the Index continues to grow by over 20,000 entries a year from 45 current titles. The beginning date for the Index is steadily moving backward from 1975.
