Historical Fact: Knud Brorson (1846–1893) helped pioneer the Adventist mission work in Denmark and Norway, together with John G. Matteson. Brorson was the first Adventist missionary to work among the Sami people in Norway.
During his relatively short life of 47 years, Brorson became the leading force of the Adventist mission work in the formative years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Scandinavia. His lasting contribution to evangelism, committee work and leadership was nicely summed up by P. G. Nelson, West Nordic Union president. In his report to the General Conference session in 1946, Nelson mentioned Knud Brorson as the first, after John G. Matteson, among those who built up the work in Norway and Denmark.

The Center for Adventist Research has the Sidney Brownsberger Family Papers Collection (14).
Sidney Brownsberger was born in Ohio September 20, 1845. He became attracted to Adventist teachings while he was a student at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. He assumed an important role in early Adventist education when he became the first president of Battle Creek College in Michigan (1874-1881) and then the first president of Healdsburg College in California (1882-1887). In 1909 he helped to establish the Asheville Agricultural School and Mountain Sanitarium near Fletcher, North Carolina. He died August 13, 1930, in Fletcher, North Carolina.
A collection of documents is from the Sidney Brownsberger family. Also included are many items compiled from the writings of Ellen G. White.
