History
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.
Scope and Content
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
