    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on scriptural mandate of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter–day Saints (LDS) for collecting and preserving materials of historical importance, which include official church records. It mentions expansion of an American church in postcolonial Africa such as marriage practices, African childhood, and burial customs, that will be of interest to historians. It also mentions history of religion in Africa and records of international mission churches.
