NEW Scripture Search Page

You can now enrich your scripture study on the Wilford Woodruff Papers website in two ways. Through our Documents tab you can click directly on “Scriptures” to see Wilford Woodruff's personal scriptures containing his margin and endnotes. You can also use our new scripture page to explore more than 1,300 verses of scripture identified in Wilford Woodruff's records. These scripture references are found in correspondence, journal entries, and the discourses of Joseph Smith and other prophets and apostles, and can be filtered by individual books of scripture.

Relative Finder Feature

Have you tried our new Relative Finder feature? Watch this video to learn more about how this feature works. Instead of manually typing in the name of ancestors you want to search for, Relative Finder will search the 15,000 people identified in the Wilford Woodruff Papers and show you every individual you are related to!
