Fifteen years in the making, "Studies in Mormon History" is the most complete and comprehensive bibliography ever attempted on historical literature about the Mormons. Created by three of the leading figures in Mormon studies, this volume provides author and topical listings of books, articles, theses, and dissertations dealing with the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints beginning with its inception in 1830. This massive compilation contains more than 2,600 books, 10,400 articles, 1,800 theses and dissertations, and 150 significant typescripts and taskpapers. While most highly polemical literature has been excluded, the authors have endeavored to include every English-language publication that contributes substantively to a historical understanding of the church's development and its place in the larger context of American history and religion. These writings range from works of serious scholarship to stories of the pioneers, biographical sketches of church officers, and devotional biographies of leading Mormon men and women. A monumental achievement, "Studies in Mormon History" is an indispensable guide to research and scholarship in Mormon history as well as in the history of the American West. This work also features an important topical guide to Mormon social science literature, compiled by Armand L. Mauss and Dynette Ivie Reynolds.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"To call this bibliography monumental ... understates the case... When well designed and compiled by three such expert scholars, printed bibliographies have a utility most online sources lack... Unlike most bibliographies arranged by author that simply assign entry numbers, this one gives bibliographic details to allow readers to see whether the cited work will be useful... Essential for any serious collection in US history." -- Choice "A strong point of this exhaustive compilation is its comprehensiveness... The value of Studies in Mormon History is inarguable. No research library with Mormon collections can afford to be without [it]." -- Larry W. Draper, BYU Studies

Studies in Mormon History (1830-1997),
By A Customer
This review is from: Studies in Mormon History, 1830-1997: AN INDEXED BIBLIOGRAPHY (Hardcover)
The definitive bibliography of Mormon history. An enormous, systematic undertaking. 1152 pages (in small but readable type). Two indices--by author and by topic. Also includes a hundred-page topical guide to social science publications on the Mormons prepared by Armand Mauss and Dynette Ivie Reynolds. This is an invaluable resource for students of Mormon history and/or sociology.
