A selection of documents from the early days of the Mormon Church are on display at the Church History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The exhibition includes part of the original manuscript for the Book of Mormon, founder Joseph Smith's 1832-1834 journal and various rare pieces of scripture.
 The artefacts date to the foundation of the Mormon Church in the early 1800s |
Elder Steven Snow, a church historian commented: "For the first time really we're displaying some very important documents which are really foundational to our history.
"We literally have millions of pages of journals, diaries of documents, artefacts, but of all of those documents, artefacts, we believe this collection represents well the Restoration of the Church."
