Historical Edition of the 1840 Book of Mormon Now Available

The developers of a new website, wordsofeternal.life, have published facsimiles (photographs) of every page of both an original 1840 and an 1842 edition of The Book of Mormon, which were "carefully revised by the translator", Joseph Smith, prior to his death. The facsimiles posted on this website were created independently of the Joseph Smith Papers Project. This website provides easy viewing and study of this important book of scripture.

Additionally, a large number of volunteers worked together to create an electronic copy of the 1840 Book of Mormon, including all printing and spelling errors. To honor the labor of the Prophet Joseph Smith,  these materials were made available on his 212th birthday (December 23rd, 2017).
