Additional Description

Arrangement

In most parts, the present collection was arranged by the Adventist Heritage Center. The headings of the subject file and source documents, however, were assigned by Amadon herself and were retained during processing.
The main series or sections of the collection are:

1) correspondence;
2) Amadon’s writings;
3) sources arranged by subject;
4) photostat sources.

Arrangement

Within each of these series are the following subject areas:

1) Ancient Jewish Calendation
2) Calendar Reform / Chronology
3) Crucifixion/Passover
4) Millerism / 1844 Date
5) Turkey / Trumpets (Revelation)

Arrangement

The researcher should note

Some of Amadon’s correspondence related to a particular subject are placed with the corresponding subject file.
There are oversized documents in Box 21. These are listed in the associated subject areas so the research will know to also look in the oversize box.
The photostat documents are placed under subject headings without any particular order.
There is a list of photostats prepared by Amadon (Box 8 Fld 17).
