Both print and online publications have had much to say about The Joseph Smith Papers . For instance, Brigham Young University’s flagship academic journal, BYU Studies, devoted about half of an entire issue (volume 48, number 3 [2009]) to the first two volumes of The Joseph Smith Papers . See the BYU Studies website for more information.

The following articles offer a sampling of the many articles written about The Joseph Smith Papers:

In addition, editors of The Joseph Smith Papers have been interviewed by various media outlets. In this regard, a two-part interview conducted by the editors of the blog By Common Consent with two of the project’s scholars is particularly informative ( part 1 , part 2 ).
