Recently Digitized Collections, March 2021

The library digitizes many items from our collections each month for viewing in the Church History Catalog. Below, you’ll find March’s list of recently digitized materials to explore, such as The Salt Lake Temple: A Centennial Book of Remembrance, a commemorative volume released for the Salt Lake Temple’s 100th anniversary; among other things, it features a list of every temple worker to serve in the Salt Lake Temple up to that point.

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.
