The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a long and varied history in New York City. From the restoration of the Gospel, New York City has represented a variety of things to the Mormon people as they sought refuge and exaltation. The city has been a resource for knowledge, goods, services and finance for church members as well as for the Church. It has been a staging and transition point for members traveling to and from various parts of the world. And it has become a home to thousands of members and a 'Stake of Zion' in the 'Latter-days.' This site represents the accumulated research and public documentation I have assembled, both during my time with the New York New York Stake LDS History Committee and since then. I hope to make this research and source documents more available through this website. In addition to the research, I am looking for contributions from Mormons who have lived in the New York City area, from their descendants or from other researchers who have relevant information. Use of contributed information can be limited if the contributor wishes, or can be published in books and monographs, the New York New York Stake LDS History Committee newsletter or even on this website. Please see our contribution page for information on how to contribute. The History Committee and I both give walking tours of Church history sites in New York City. These tours are available both to Church groups and to non-church members. This research has led to the publication of City Saints: Mormons in the New York Metropolis (ISBN: 0850513030, 2004, 284 pages), a history of the LDS Church in New York City. The book is available from both national and LDS bookstores. In addition we publish a newsletter twice a year, a brochure for our walkikng tour and plan additional monographs.
