TheChurch Historian's Press is animprint dedicated to publishing scholarly works about the origin, history, and growth ofthe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Operated under the direction of theChurch Historian and Recorder, its establishment was announced in February 2008 by the LDS Church.[1][2][3][4]
The press' first publication was the multi-volumeJoseph Smith Papers, adocumentary editing project to provide scholars and researchers with access to all of the documents produced byJoseph Smith, founder of the faith.[1][5][2]
The press also publishes other LDS Church documentary histories,[6] such as the significant journals of 19th-centuryApostleGeorge Q. Cannon (the first volume was already published byDeseret Book in 1999).[7] In April 2016, this project was instead launched as a searchable website forThe Journal of George Q. Cannon, with plans to provide nearly all the journals online and save years in what would be required for print publication.[8] Also in 2016, the press began publication of historic papers of the Relief Society.[9]
The CH Press website was launched on February 2, 2016.
