Help accelerate AdventAI.

Turn ninety years of Adventist history, 1840 to 1930, into the knowledge base that powers AdventAI - fueling research, study, and AI generation across the platform. Far more than searchable.

A Founding Lifetime Membership is US$1,000 - limited to 35 people. What's included

What we're building

Ninety years of history, made intelligent.

From the 1840s to the 1930s, Seventh-day Adventists left a remarkable record of their faith, mission, and history across a vast run of periodicals.

Most of it survives only as fragile scans - hard to read, difficult to search, and near invisible to AI. Our main focus is digitizing these periodicals in full - not only the well-known names, but every article - and folding them into the knowledge base behind AdventAI, so the platform can search, study, research, and generate from this history, not merely store it.

Alongside the periodicals, we're also digitizing around 1,500 pioneer and historical works - and Ellen White's books - so one connected library can span the movement's first decades.

The Signs of the Times (1888) - masthead, editors, and an Ellen White article, rebuilt as structured knowledge AdventAI can reason over.

Imagery restored in place. Photographs and engravings cleaned, colorized, and reassembled with the page.
A digitized 1899 periodical article with a restored photograph
Every article, in the library. A full report - searchable by author, subject, and time period, and ready to power research and generation.

The result isn't just readable text, but structured, source-grounded content - every paragraph tied to its original page, ready for study, citation, search, translation, teaching, and media.

Progress so far

A project already well underway.

We're not starting from zero. The work is live, the team is growing, and the library is steadily coming online.

Inside the work

Careful by design - a human at every step.

Because of AI, digitization is faster than ever. But we hold high standards for accuracy, so a person reviews every step - annotating complex pages by hand, then carefully post-processing them.

Preservation & restoration

Restoring the images, not only the words.

Engravings, portraits, and photographs were printed on aging paper - faded, stained, often barely legible. Alongside the text, we use AI to gently clean, repair, and restore them, bringing back detail that time had worn away while staying faithful to the original.

Pioneers brought back to life

Restored - in its final, digitized form

Restored photographs flow right back into the finished article - text and image alike, ready for AdventAI.

Taken together - faithful text, preserved references, and restored imagery - we hope this becomes one of the most complete and carefully prepared digital collections of early Adventist history anywhere in the world.

More than an archive

It's not just searchable. It becomes AdventAI's mind.

Every page we digitize joins the knowledge base that powers AdventAI - faithful, sourced history feeding a whole new era of intelligence. Not a static archive you read, but a living foundation AdventAI thinks with, reasons over, and answers from.

What your support unlocks

A new generation of AdventAI.

We've begun a major, ground-up overhaul of AdventAI - an all-new platform, multiple times more powerful than today's - built to bring this library to life. Your membership helps us launch it alongside the new collection.

  • A new generation of search & research

    Ask real questions and get clear, well-organized answers grounded in the digitized library - with the sources right there beside them.

  • Search by author & time period

    Follow a single writer across the decades, or see how a subject was discussed in any era - filtered by author, topic, and date.

  • Documents & PowerPoints

    Turn your study into finished documents and ready-to-present slides - complete with references - straight from your notes.

  • Far faster & more capable

    A complete overhaul - a major step up in ability, speed, and accuracy over today's AdventAI, with a long roadmap to follow.

Your membership does two things at once: it funds the digitization of these historic resources, and it accelerates the development of this next-generation AdventAI.
