Book of Mormon Census Project
In commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the Book of Mormon
The Book of Mormon Census Project is an ongoing academic project to catalog and document the surviving copies of various early printings of the Book of Mormon. Understanding the value of this project often starts when the question is asked, "How many 1830 first copies of the Book of Mormon exist today?" The answer is currently unknown and the Census Project makes a plan to answer this as well as document the various characteristics of each copy.
While keeping personal owner information private, the census gives academics and enthusiasts the opportunity they normally wouldn't have, to learn of the various quantities and see these as the works of art that they truly are.
The project includes:
- 1830 Palmyra
- 1837 Kirtland
- 1840 Nauvoo
- 1841 Great Britain
- 1842 Nauvoo
- 1869 Deseret Alphabet
- 1899 Nephite Records
- Other Notable Copies
