"This chapter will consider a variety of sources reflecting the roles that Lucy Mack Smith, Lucy Harris Harris, Mary Musselman Whitmer, and Emma Hale Smith played in the translation effort. Fortunately, recent publications such as The Joseph Smith Papers and Dan Vogel's five-volume edition of Early Mormon Documents have made the archive of relevant sources on the production of the Book of Mormon more accessible. However, there is still much that needs to be done in terms of expanding the scope of the archive as it it imagined by historians who work in the founding period and in the received archive of actual Mormon history production and social memory. When sources about these four women are acknowledged and read in new ways, they demonstrate the need to reconceptualize the documents and the archive. Adding forgotten voices to the narrative of the translation of the golden plates and the production of the Book of Mormon reveals the social context of scriptural production and expands the group of those who should be considered part of the creation of Mormonism's founding scripture."
