Abstract

With the assistance of a 1999 ORCA scholarship, I was able to make significant progress in understanding LDS Church history in the Middle East during the period 1880-1950. My work was divided between four separate but related projects, each of which will receive brief mention here. The first of these projects are the journals of Joseph W. Booth, long-time missionary in the Middle East, which were the focus of my ORCA proposal. Since receiving the scholarship in January, I have continued proofreading the journal typescripts with my wife, the first step in preparing them for publication. I have also continued to gather background materials for placing the journals in their historical context and have identified a number of relevant sources. Although my collection of materials is not yet comprehensive, I am satisfied with the recent progress.
