Abstract

The number of manuscript theses presented for graduate degrees is increasing each year. Many of them record the results of important and useful projects. Knowledge of the existence and location of these contributions to scholarship is important to all research workers in order to prevent duplication of study, to bring salient facts into focus, and otherwise to facilitate research.

A bibliography of such studies written outside the state of Utah but pertaining to Utah, to its natural resources, its culture (particularly that established by or pertaining to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly known as the Mormon Church) and those phases of interest that have been significant in the heritage of its development, has not been compiled previously into a single volume.

Since this study was exploratory it may be considered as a pilot project intended partially to unify existing knowledge and to advance the possibility of further significant studies.

Many controversial writings concerning the Mormon Church have been published -- some as articles, some in pamphlet form, many as books. This study is limited to a listing and classification of masters' theses and doctoral dissertations written outside the state of Utah. Its purpose is to assemble these many titles which individually would be difficult to locate.
