Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Gregory A. Prince papers (1833-1995) contain correspondence, scriptural and historical research materials and notes, and the transcripts of oral interviews collected during the writing of Prince's various books on Mormon history, including: Power From on High: The Development of Mormon Priesthood (1995); David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism (2005); Leonard Arrington and the Writing on Mormon History (2016); and Gay Rights and the Mormon Church: Intended Actions, Unintended Consequences (2019). Several series of this collection also include the draft manuscripts, along with editorial notes and peer comments, of their respective publications. David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism (2005) was the first publication to utilize the David O. McKay Papers (MS 0668); the series devoted to research for that book contains source materials copied from that collection. For Gay Rights and the Mormon Church: Intended Actions, Unintended Consequences, Prince also had access to the research materials of Hugo Olaiz which have since been added to the Hugo N. Olaiz papers (ACCN 2154). Prince's collection also contains correspondence and research materials related to subjects not included in Prince's books, including materials about proselytizing efforts toward the Jewish population in Southern California and various interview transcripts about the life of Paul H. Dunn.
