For almost two centuries LDS women around the world have recorded their life’s events in diaries, letters, poetry, oral histories, photographs, and other forms. BYU’s Special Collections has preserved materials and the Smith Institute’s Women’s History Initiative has laid scholarly historical groundwork for a sample of displayed artifacts.

“To Tell the Tale” highlights how women have preserved their experiences as sisters, mothers, Relief Society members, missionaries, artists, educators, politicians, and writers – at home, in the community and abroad. The exhibition’s documents and artifacts provide insight into the faith, struggles, triumphs and daily living of these LDS women.
