By Jeff Morley, Church History Library

10 May 2024

Explore dozens of recently digitized collections to enable your research wherever you are in the world.

This month’s newly accessible collections article comes with many digitized photographs, songbooks, and more. One highlight among the list includes the Camp of Israel Daybook, kept by the camp’s clerk, John D. Lee in 1846. This daybook primarily contains wagon team and lifestock management updates, while it also records the names of those adopted into Brigham Young’s family. You may also enjoy a group photograph of Southern State missionaries during their Mississippi Conference in 1911. And you can read the Temple Souvenir newspaper printed for the Salt Lake temple dedication on April 6, 1893.
