Content Description

This collection consists wholly of sources Valentine copied from the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventist Archives in the course of his dissertation research in the early 1980s. The papers were deposited in the Andrews University Adventist Heritage Center by arrangement between the Archives and Valentine’s dissertation committee chair, George Knight. Under the agreement, Valentine got the photocopies for no cost for his research, but was required to place the copies in the Adventist Heritage Center for future scholars. This collection consists only of copies from the GC Archives and no supplemental material Valentine may have found in his research.
