Adventures of a Church Historian
Adventures of a Church Historian details how Leonard J. Arrington opened up archival resources and presided, for a time, over an unprecedented era of enlightenment as he and those working under his aegis produced path-breaking works of Mormon scholarship. Arrington was the first professional historian and the first noncentral authority to serve as church historian of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a position he held from 1972 to 1982. Arrington's church appointment came at a crucial point in LDS history, when the institution was being transformed from a regional church whose ecclesiastical hierarchy directly presided over its congregants into a modern, worldwide church with an elaborate bureaucracy. His description of conducting research in the LDS Church Archives in the days of Elder Joseph Fielding Smith and Brother A. Will Lund provides a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the LDS First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Riveting chapters on the actions of the controversial Historical Department reveal details of Arrington's release and replacement as the old system gave way to the new.

Historians and academics use a handful of histories written by those closest to Joseph Smith during his ministry to document and tell the story of the Latter-day Saints.

They have included other important documents, like the early history of Parley P. Pratt. One of the most important histories that was not previously available is a complex history of the early Church written in several installments by Newel Knight. He was one of a few early ...
A Study of the Origins of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the States of New York and Pennsylvania, 1816-1831
"The experience of Joseph Smith in a revivalistic scene and his subsequent vision of the Father and the Son are examined. As an outgrowth of this reported visitation, Joseph eventually organized the LDS Church. A major portion of this dissertation deals with the events associated with that organization and an analysis of the individuals attracted to the movement. This treatise, prepared in chronological fashion, treats the early movements of Joseph Smith, Jr., and his associates in the New York counties of Ontario, Wayne, Seneca, Chenango, Broome and the Pennsylvania county of Susquehanna. This study concludes with a treatment of Joseph's move to Ohio, in 1831, and the subsequent removal of the New York Saints to that state" -- Abstract.
