Now Online: Young Women’s Journal
The Harold B. Lee Library Digital Collections has been slowly amassing one of the most important digital archives in Mormon Studies. I just noticed that they have added the Young Women’s Journal.
I had understood that the Women’s Exponent would be up first, but they appear to only have the first four years available. The YMJ is a wonderful resource in 19th and early 20th century Mormonism. You’ll see things like Oliver Huntington describing moon-quakers to the symposium on “the perfect woman.”
In a quick mining expedition last night, I found seven references relating to my research that I hadn’t previously had. Three cheers for Susan Fales and her team at the BYU Library!
Life is good. Thanks, J., for the notice.
I am reading Romania Pratt’s article on “Hygiene.”

The Symposia on the perfect woman is a lot of fun. Is this all text searchable?

Where? I can only find five random issues.

Justin, I mis-spoke in the original post. You are right that they only have 5 issues up (my bad). I had an exchange with the folks at Digitial Collections this morning and they informed me:
This is good news and we should see those WE up fairly soon.

Cool site, love the info. I do a lot of research online on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks, 🙂
A definite great read.. <a href="http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/~bill-bartmann"
