BYU–Pathways Collaboration

On December 16, we launched our expanded intern partnership with Springboard and 

BYU–Pathway. We onboarded ten interns and Success Managers to our Research Team from Mexico, Nigeria, Ghana, Malawi, Ecuador, Columbia, Mozambique, Kenya, and Zimbabwe.


They will be applying their family history research skills to help identify the remaining people in Wilford Woodruff’s records. This effort will lead to the integration of our biographical research of the 25,000 people included in Wilford Woodruff's records with the 9,000 people mentioned in The Joseph Smith Papers and other Church Historian’s Press projects, as well as the 101,000 people in the Church History Biographical Database!
