Abstract: The B. H. Roberts Papers (1869-1965) contain a variety of materials documenting the life and work of Roberts, widely regarded as the foremost LDS Church historian and theologian. Included are personal materials (journals, temple records, notebooks, certificates, and correspondence); correspondence from friends, antagonists, and business associates; correspondence concerned with his research regarding discrepancies in the Book of Mormon; manuscripts of the results of his research ("Book of Mormon Difficulties" and "A Book of Mormon Study"); a sampling of his writings, including publication lists, manuscripts, and speeches; materials concerned with his service during World War I as a chaplain in the U. S. Army; and six books, among which is a photocopy of the 1830 Book of Mormon with a reproduction of Robert's annotations; original editions of the Doctrine of Covenants (1884) and a Methodist camp meeting hymn book (1832).
