These records form a significant boyd of material which document the early ecclesiastical history of Provo, Utah. Elias H. Blackburn was the first Bishop of Provo (1851-57) and these records document various activities of the new community, the 34th Quorum of the Seventy, the Mormon Reformation (1855-56), and the move south by the inhabitants of the Salt Lake Valley during the Utah War (1857-58). They offer accounts of sermons of the period by several prominent Church leaders and document the response of the community, including rebaptisms and Church disciplinary matters. The record of Elias H. Blackburn also includes Blackburn's personal family record. Blackburn was later called to be bishop of Loa, Utah, and the Manti Temple record account dates from this period. The Seventy record book was recorded by quorum clerks William W. Allen and John Leetham.
