27 July 2021

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

The library digitizes many items from our collections each month for viewing in the Church History Catalog. Below you’ll find July’s list of recently digitized materials to explore, such as the Nauvoo City Court docket book, which presents the sobering reality of life for early Latter-day Saints. While the book begins by recording property sales in a booming Nauvoo, it quickly transforms into a record of pioneer companies heading west.
