Videos

For a limited time watch a portion of the exclusive footage from the 1920s of Ellen White’s grandsons’ mission work in China. This footage comes from 16 millimeter film that was donated to the Archives last year by Daphne Odell, Henry White's daughter, and by Marilyn Cook, Daphne's daughter, and recently digitized. When the Adventist Archives receive a piece of Adventist history—be it a timeless artifact or an old letter—a lot of resources goes into preserving it.
