George T. Boyd papers. 1903-2001.

Collection consists largely of research notes and articles on various philosophical topics, especially as they relate to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), its doctrines and practices, leadership (past and present), policies, and theology in general. This includes personal and course notes and papers written by Boyd, as well as collections of articles written by General Authorities of the Church or other notables (those in good standing and generally in positions of scholarship in the Church, as well as those estranged or otherwise in aggressive opposition), and many excerpts from magazines and local newspapers. Also included are a tape of Boyd's funeral service (which includes a memorial address by David J. Whittaker), transcripts of that tape and of five out of six oral history interview sessions (also conducted by David Whittaker), and an alphabetical card file containing an index of collection topics and contributors (which roughly reflects the organization of the collection).
