Journals, Volume 1: 1832–1839
Volume 1 of the Journals series features Joseph Smith’s first five journals. These documents give the reader an appreciation for Smith’s character, his private piety, and his sense of mission. The journals also convey his perspective on the spiritual manifestations experienced in the Kirtland, Ohio, temple, the origins of the “Mormon War” in Missouri, and the founding of what would become Nauvoo, Illinois—the Mormon city on the Mississippi.

Revelations and Translations, Volume 1: Manuscript Revelation Books
Volume 1 of the Revelations and Translations series features two manuscript books into which scores of Joseph Smith’s revelations were copied by early church scribes. These revelation books rank among the most important documents in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They preserve the earliest known copies of most of Smith’s early revelations, and they are the key sources available for understanding the process of publishing the early revelations.
