Rare books, manuscripts, art & artifacts
John is busy writing this website; more is coming shortly.
Early Mormon history survives in printed books, handwritten records, photographs, paintings, furnishings, and other objects. Their materials and workmanship belong beside their words in the study of the people who made and used them.
I am preparing a fuller account of my collection, scholarship, and continuing acquisitions. This website will present work on the identification, description, provenance, and preservation of rare Mormon material. Enquiries about original books, documents, art, artifacts, and antiques are welcome.
