Gift

Provenance

The Center for Adventist Research received portions of this collection from various sources at different times. The first part came from Siegfried Horn himself in May, 1976, upon his retirement and moving to California. The second group came from his surviving wife, Elizabeth Horn in 1994-1995 via the Horn Archaeological Library. The Center did not receive this group until some years later when the Horn Library passed on what they did not want for their collection. The third group came from Joyce Rochat in 1994 who had a goodly amount of Horn’s diary and narrative materials for use in writing her book, <title>Survivor.</title>
