The Journal History of the Church is a chronological, day-by-day scrapbook containing primary and secondary historical documents about the Church. Bergera traces its historical development and analyses its contents. He discusses those historical compilations in the Historian's Office which predated Journal History. Although some initial work was done prior to 1906, that is the year that a "decision [was] finally made to bring the full resources of the Historian's Office to bear on a truly exhaustive daily documentary history of the Church from its beginnings to the present." He discusses the key role that Andrew Jenson played in compiling Journal History. He describes the strengths and weaknesses of the resource and it's present transformation into an electronic format.
