Ellen G. White Compilation Collection

Content Description

This collection displays at least two different functions regarding the letters and manuscripts of Ellen G. White during her lifetime and afterward:. 1. How Ellen White's office functioned in the 1890s, 1900s, and perhaps even later regarding the production of duplicate copies of her letters and manuscripts for distribution purposes. This collection shows the production of multiple copies of individual letters and manuscripts dating over twenty plus years. 2. How individuals, in the days before the widespread availability of published letters and manuscripts, would collect White's writings for whatever purpose they needed. These were arranged chronologically, by subject, or by no apparent order.

Provenance

The first two parts of the collection may have come from F. C. Gilbert at South Lancaster Academy in Massachusetts. Gilbert's name appears on the cover of Box 7, Folder 4. How the other four compilations came together is not known. It is possible it was all given to the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, which transferred it to the Adventist Heritage Center in the 1970s—that date is based on the collection number within the Center for Adventist Research collection numbering. There is no donation record.
