When the latest volume in the Joseph Smith Papers Project is published next week, readers will gaze back in time and glimpse the process for preserving many of the revelations in what is now the Doctrine and Covenants.

The Joseph Smith Papers, Revelations and Translations, Volume 1: Manuscript Revelation Books will be in bookstores on Sept. 22. It is the second book to be released in the anticipated 30-volume comprehensive scholarly set that will cover more than 2,000 documents in the Prophet's personal papers. The volumes are divided into six series: documents, history, journals, administrative papers, legal and business affairs, and revelations and translations. The first book, published last fall, was the first volume in the journals series.
