Recently Digitized Collections, April 2021

The library digitizes many items from our collections each month for viewing in the Church History Catalog. Below, you’ll find April’s list of recently digitized materials to explore, such as Y.W.M.I.A. Camp-O-Rama, a 1940s Church manual for running a summer camp (and a fascinating glimpse into the culture of the mid-20th-century Young Women’s Mutual Improvement Assocation).

All of the following collections feature one or more items that have been digitized and are available for viewing online. For some collections, log-in may be required for access.
