Ronald Romig, archivist for the RLDS Church (now renamed the Community of Christ), played a significant role in Royal Skousen's critical text project. Romig was responsible for overseeing the handling of the printer's manuscript of the Book of Mormon, which was made available on two different occasions for Skousen to examine for his research. Skousen also examined over twenty copies of the first edition of the Book of Mormon belonging to the Community of Christ. Romig explains his responsibilities and the process of assisting Skousen in the project and also mentions how Skousen's work has improved the relationship between the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Community of Christ.
