Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The H. Michael Marquardt papers (1800-2017) contain correspondence, newsletters, brochures, books, maps, documents, news clippings, and other materials relating to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Most of the materials depict the controversial aspects of the LDS Church, as described by critics and friends. These materials also give information on the churches and sects that broke away from the church that Joseph Smith organized, such as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (RLDS Church), now the Community of Christ. There is also a great deal of material about the first LDS prophet, Joseph Smith, and the Book of Mormon, which is believed to be translated by him in the late 1820s. This collection also contains information on Mark Hofmann, temple rituals of the LDS Church, and historical information on the LDS Church. Most materials are photocopies or mimeograph reproductions.
