Mormonism was established in the 1820s in western New York under the leadership of Joseph Smith; its largest institutional
manifestations are the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints; a year after the church was established, the Mormons left New York to establish stakes in Ohio and Missouri; violent
conflicts with non-Mormons forced them to flee and establish a new center in Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1839; after the murder of
Joseph Smith in 1844, a large group of Mormons followed Brigham Young west in 1846 and arrived in what is now Utah in July
1847; they founded the State of Deseret, building a tabernacle and temple in Temple Square in Salt Lake City.
Collection consists of pamphlets, newspaper clippings, a scrapbook, and miscellaneous materials related to the history of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Includes materials related to the Mormons' migration to Utah and the founding
and growth of Salt Lake City. Also includes a typescript copy of the diary of Lorenzo Dow Young.
