Of particular interest are those items that portray the relationship Mormon settlers had with their Native American neighbors. Subjects addressed within the collection include the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Federal Writers Project, the Historical Records Survey, Native Americans in Utah, the Mormon Church, Mormon pioneers, Mormon poetry, Mormon social life and customs, Mormon theater, the history of Ogden (Utah), the Works Progress Administration, Utah history, Jedediah Strong Smith (1799-1831), Joseph Smith (1805-1844), Charles L.
