Eliza R. Snow papers 1876

http://nwda.orbiscascade.org/ark:/80444/xv24618

The Eliza R. Snow papers (1876) consist of letters and historical reports, solicited by a Mrs. A. H. Smith and collected by Eliza Snow, from Utah's charitable societies. Reports were not submitted by some societies. Snow's own report on the LDS Church's Relief Society is probably the best summary statement on the role and activities of women in the LDS Church during the mid 19th century.
