Can I see a first edition Book of Mormon in the Library of Congress?
We understand that this will be disappointing for many as these were the most called for titles in Rare Book Collection. During our busiest times of the year these books are requested often, more than once a day. For those who were able to make the trip to DC, we in the Rare Book Division very much liked to show material so valued in the community; unfortunately this is not a good activity for the preservation of this 185 year old book.
We have digitized all of these books and host them on our website. All photographs have been taken at high resolution and can be downloaded.

We apologize for any inconvenience.
