Newly Accessible Collections, November 2022

Below you’ll find November’s list of newly accessible materials to explore in the Church History Catalog, such as this stereographic photograph of an American Indian couple. Labeled as “Se-go-witz and his bride” and dated to approximately 1880, the photo may show Sagwitch and his wife, Beawoachee. Sagwitch was a nineteenth-century chieftain of a band of the Northwestern Shoshone, who were victims of the 1863 Bear River Massacre. Later, they were among the first American Indians to join the Church.

You will see three categories of collections: 1) previously open collections that have been digitized, 2) previously closed collections that are now open for research (but not digitized), and 3) collections that are both newly opened and digitized.
