Newly Accessible Collections, March 2023

Below, you’ll find a list of materials in the Church History Catalog that are newly accessible. Consider, for example, an oral history of Helen Woodruff Anderson, who was raised by Wilford Woodruff’s widow Emma Smith Woodruff before living with Heber J. Grant’s family. Helen would go on to serve in the Relief Society Employment Bureau, on the Relief Society general board, and in the Relief Society General Presidency, often working on projects related to welfare.
