Task Papers in LDS History (partial set)

Historical Department. Velobound. As the creation of two one-volume histories (one primarily for an LDS audience, the other for a non-Mormon readership) progressed, the concept of having staff members and others write "task papers" arose. By 1975, the first was published-over the next five years, thirty-two of them were created. In 1980 Homer Durham ruled that the series was to end. He was reticent to allow wide distribution and, as a result, very few copies ever turn up. This partial set of eleven numbers includes:
