The Center for Adventist Research has the John Harvey Kellogg Papers Collection (06).
John Harvey Kellogg (1852–1943) was a Seventh-day Adventist physician, health promoter, nutritionist, inventor, author, eugenicist, and entrepreneur. He was director of the Battle Creek Sanitarium, inventor of flaked breakfast cereal, and a long-time associate of James and Ellen White, founders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. After years of struggles with denominational leadership over management style, philosophy, and doctrine, Kellogg was disfellowshipped in 1907, but he continued to maintain Adventist friendships and many features of an Adventist lifestyle until his death in 1943.
This collection consists of Dr. Kellogg's correspondence with Seventh-day Adventists. This is the original collection. Subsequently, through the research efforts of Ronald L. Numbers, in 2023 we added 14 DVD’s containing what we believe is the entire John Harvey Kellogg Papers available at the Michigan State University Archives and Historical Collections in 2012.

We’re excited to share that a long-running social media collaboration featuring our historical photo archives has received a national award!
For the past several years, Katharine Van Arsdale has partnered with the Lake Union Herald on a monthly campaign highlighting a photo from the Center for Adventist Research. These glimpses into Adventist history are then shared through the Lake Union Herald’s social media platforms.
We’re thrilled to announce that this project, "Lake Union History," has received the Award of Excellence from the Associated Church Press! Congratulations, Katharine – and thank you for sharing our history so meaningfully!

A new book has been released, “Conscientious Objectors at War: The Vietnam War’s Forgotten Medics” by Gary Kulik.
During the war in Vietnam, thousands of young men served as conscientious objector medics. They had been certified by their local draft boards as noncombatants, but many would know intense combat nonetheless. Without weapons training, they ran through the infantry lines, answering the desperate call, “Medic!” Many displayed exemplary heroism even at the cost of their lives. With the end of the draft, we will never see their like again.
“Conscientious Objectors at War” tells their stories within the background context of pacifist churches in America. It is the first book exclusively devoted to such men, who emerged initially from the historic peace churches—Quakers, Brethren, Mennonites—and from Seventh-day Adventists, who would comprise roughly half of all conscientious objector medics serving in the Vietnam War. From World War II on, growing numbers of men from mainstream churches made the same choices, and after a Supreme Court decision in 1965, so too would men who claimed humanist and secular justification. The pages contain the stories of pantheists and Catholics, among others from the peace traditions.
Gary Kulik, who also served as a conscientious-objector medic, interweaves his own story into those he recounts, stories of fierce combat, stumbling accidents, moments of fleeting honor and ever-present death.
