Below, you’ll find June’s list of recently digitized materials to explore, such as a collection of photographs taken at the dedication of the Arizona Temple—now known as the Mesa Arizona Temple—in 1927. (With the post-renovation rededication of the temple coming soon, see what it looked like the first time around!)
