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.

First Annual 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 Donation of 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.
