The Joseph Smith Papers Project is the comprehensive edition, and includes all known and available documents by Joseph Smith (1805-1844) the founding prophet and first president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This ambitious project includes 1,306 journal entries, 643 letters, and 155 revelations. The diversity and expansiveness of this documentary collection stem from Smith’s extensive leadership in religious and civic roles. He was a translator, revelator, church president, city builder, mayor, city council member, judge, militia leader, and presidential candidate, and his papers reflect all those roles. These volumes provide essential resources for the study of Joseph Smith’s life and times.
