Mormon Bibliography 1961

The selected bibliography listed below is taken from the semi-monthly bibliography of writings on Mormon subjects entitled Mormon Americana. It is the result of a cooperative effort of the libraries of Brigham Young University, L.D.S. Church Historian’s Office, Salt Lake Public Library, Utah State Historical Society, University of Utah Library, Utah State University Library, and several other contributing libraries. The compilation and editorial work are performed by the library of Brigham Young University under the direction of Chad Flake.

The selection for 1961 is broader than that for 1960 (see Brigham Young University Studies, Spring and Summer, 1961, pp. 51–54) since it also includes noteworthy articles in periodical literature. As in the past, publications of the Federal Government and the State of Utah have not been included.

The reader will note that not all the items listed in this bibliography were published in 1961. As books and articles pertaining to Mormonism or the history of Utah come to the attention of the participating libraries, they are reported to the editorial staff at Brigham Young University for inclusion in a forthcoming issue of Mormon Americana. Often family histories or histories of individuals sponsored by family associations do not become known to librarians until they happen to obtain them as a gift from a friend of the institution. By then, available copies usually are distributed and it is difficult, if not impossible to purchase them for library use. However, they are included in the Mormon Americana bibliography, which attempts to disseminate information on all known publications for the mutual benefit of the participating libraries.

For a more comprehensive listing, the reader is referred to the publication, Mormon Americana, filed with participating libraries.
