2 Heritage Center

Objectives of CCAH

The Center for Chinese Adventist Heritage (CCAH) houses two collections of historical artifacts and heritage items associated with the Seventh-day Adventist movement in China. The purpose of the Center is to provide a centralized set of resources for scholars, researchers, and students who are interested in the history of the Adventist movement in China and to Chinese people around the world.

1. The ONLINE COLLECTION is an information repository which may be accessed from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection. Click here to go to CCAH COLLECTION online.
