The Center for Adventist Research, a branch office of the Ellen G. White Estate, will publish a series of small publications highlighting treasures held by the Center at Andrews University.

The Center anticipates publishing two documents each year. The first publication will be released in February, a reprint of the little tract entitled, “The Christian Experience of William E. Foy Together with the Two Visions He Received in the Months of Jan. and Feb. 1842,” published in Portland, Maine, 1845. The original tract is in the collection at the Center.

Foy was a gifted and trained Black preacher. After he received his visions, he joined other Millerite preachers in communicating the Advent message. Foy spoke to large groups from every denomination including Black and White audiences.

Future publications will include Hiram Edson’s manuscript fragment, an Isaac Newton manuscript in the Center's collection, and other significant holdings that have never been published.
