Register of the F. D. Nichol Collection Collection 264 Center for Adventist Research James White Library Andrews University Berrien Springs, Michigan 49104-1440 June 2007 Processed by: Donald McKinnie F. D. Nichol Collection Collection 264 Scope and Content F. D. (Francis David) Nichol (1897-1966) served the Seventh-day Adventist Church in several positions, most notably as editor of the Review and Herald, the general church paper, from 1945 to his death in 1966. Nichol was an unapologetic defender of the faith of Seventh-day Adventists, ever ready to give an answer for Adventist beliefs. His commitment to the church’s beliefs and historical foundation is readily seen in the numerous books he authored. Notable among these are The Midnight Cry (1944), Answers to Objections (1952), and Ellen White and Her Critics (1951). Nichol’s work as chief editor of the Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary has left a lasting impact on Adventism. This work has for many years been a benchmark in Adventist Biblical scholarship. The F. D. Nichol Collection consists of two main groups of materials. The first are those materials used in the production of his book on the Millerite movement, The Midnight Cry. This group consists largely of photostatic copies of correspondence from the Millerite Era and other Millerite and early Adventist publications. The collection includes many original copies of Adventist publications, including some original copies of The Present Truth. The second group consists of other various materials associated with Nichol’s work as a book editor of the Review and Herald Publishing Association. The materials in this group do not relate as directly to his work on The Midnight Cry. These include various Adventist periodicals, an extensive section of Sabbath-related materials from the 17th century (photostatic copies), prophecy charts collected by LeRoy E. Froom, the writings of “Opponents, Fanatics, Extremists, and Apostates,” and materials relating to Robert Wieland’s manuscript, “1888 Re-Examined.” Arrangement The first group of materials are arranged in relation to the book, The Midnight Cry. Following a brief section of Nichol personal materials is the section of Midnight Cry- related materials. This section primarily consists of materials from the Millerite era (the period prior to 1850), however a section of later, but relevant, materials are also included. Materials in the collection not related to The Midnight Cry are arranged in a section of Non-Midnight Cry materials. The collection also consist of a number of oversized items which are listed in the register in their appropriate sections, but are arranged at the end of the collection in Boxes 14 through 18. F. D. Nichol Collection–page 2 Provenance The collection was originally brought together by Nichol himself or his research assistants as he collected materials for his book, The Midnight Cry. The collection was later given to the Review and Herald Library. Subsequently, the collection was given by the Review and Herald Publishing Association to the Center for Adventist Research in December 2004. Some of the items in the collection were gifted originally to the Review and Herald from the Southern Publishing Association. A few of the early Adventist publications were donated by Dorothy Kidder in January 1998. For a list of these publication see the end of the register.
