About EGH Research

An independent platform dedicated to advancing research and study of Ellen G. White writings through modern digital tools and publishing utilities.

Our Mission

EGW Research exists to bridge the gap between traditional Ellen G. White scholarship and modern digital research methodologies. We provide researchers, pastors, students, and interested readers with powerful tools to search, study, and publish from the extensive corpus of Ellen G. White's writings.

Why This Platform Exists

Existing EGW Resources & Their Limitations

egwwritings.org: Official website with comprehensive content but limited search capabilities, no bulk downloading, and restricted customization for research compilation.

Mobile & Desktop Apps: Great for reading but lack advanced research tools, PDF generation, and academic citation features needed for scholarly work.

ChatGPT Custom Models: AI assistance available but without direct database access, limited to training data cutoffs, and cannot generate formatted research documents with proper citations.

Professional Publishing

Generate publication-ready PDFs with proper formatting, academic citations, copyright compliance, and customizable layouts for various purposes.
