The 1962 Mormon Bibliography follows the same pattern that has been established in previous issues of Brigham Young University Studies. It consists of items listed in the 1962 volume (v. 5) of Mormon Americana which deal specifically with Mormon subjects. Mormon Americana, begun in 1960, is a cooperative listing of materials concerning The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Utah for the purpose of providing contributing libraries both within and out of the State of Utah with a better chance of maintaining bibliographic control of this area. It is not intended as a polished bibliography of Mormon Americana materials, but only as a media wherein material is listed which might be of interest for those libraries collecting extensively in Mormon Americana.

From this semi-monthly, the following bibliography is drawn. In it is a cross section of materials written about the Mormon Church which would be of interest to scholars of various academic fields. No material from Church publications or official publications of the State of Utah are listed due to the fact that they can be located with very little difficulty.

Though Mormon Americana lists material concerning the westward movement, overland journeys, and books which have small sections dealing with the Church, this bibliography attempts to list only those books and periodical articles which deal exclusively with Mormonism. Reprints of books which are already known to scholars have also been omitted.

One of the most popular subjects during the year 1962 was the successful bid of George Romney for Governor of the State of Michigan. This interest is reflected in a great many articles which have explored not only Mr. Romney’s political and business qualifications, but also his Church affiliation. None of these articles have been included in the bibliography due to the fact that it should be treated separately by a scholar interested in this segment of Mr. Romney’s life. However, they are listed in Mormon Americana and are available in the contributing libraries.
