How can I do a history of my church or school?

First, please check the Encyclopedia of Seventh-day Adventists (https://encyclopedia.adventist.org) to make sure that a history has not already been completed. Second, you can do a general search in our online archives (https://documents.adventistarchives.org), especially in the Periodicals section, for your town or the name of your congregation or school. The periodicals of the union conferences are often very useful for this type of research. See “How do I do a search in your online archives?” if you do not know how to complete a general search in the online archives.
