Be inspired by God’s leading of His church as you view the original trunk that J. N. Andrews used on his historic mission trip, Uriah Smith’s desk, artifacts from Battle Creek and a display outlining the 150-year history of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. In addition, the Center’s collection includes rare books, a handwritten Bible, Torah scrolls, and Sire Isaac Newton manuscripts.

Recently, CAR transferred old 16mm film of our campus into a digital format, which is now available for your viewing pleasure as part of our Andrews Treasures exhibition. The footage provides a vivid glimpse of life on the Emmanuel Missionary College campus, including 1940 Founders Day, 1941 graduation, construction of Nethery Hall, scenes from the campus farm and dairy, College Press, campus buildings and classroom scenes.
