This is the professional journal of Mormon studies. As an outlet for research by university professors and specialists, its emphasis is on scholarship. The field includes traditional nineteenth- and twentieth-century topics, but also regional and local history, women's studies, and ethnic/minority issues. Articles are screened for accuracy, originality, and literary quality, and the editors encourage interpretative over strictly expositional writing.

The editor is Lavina Fielding Anderson, whose Ph.D. in English is from the University of Washington. Anderson is a past editor of two publications: Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought and the Ensign; former production managing of the Review of Higher Education; and the author of several award-winning books. Manuscripts may be submitted to the Mormon History Association office at 10 West 100 South, Suite 610, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84101.
