Historians lobby for Community of Christ archivist
Some scholars of early Mormon history have begun a letter-writing campaign in hopes of preserving the job of an archivist who works for the Community of Christ.
Ron Romig, 60, has worked as the lead archivist for the church since 1988. He said he was told June 15 that his position — and those of other church employees — was being cut for budgetary reasons.
Scholars say Romig is an invaluable resource who has helped dozens of historians complete research and books related to the early Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the distinct religious movements that sprang from Mormonism after the death of church founder Joseph Smith.
"It's amazing how many times I pick up a new book on Mormon history, and when you look at the list of people who have helped (the author), there's Ron Romig's name," said Bill Russell, an emeritus professor of American history and government at Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa.
