Hello everyone!
This past week I was able to finish up the box of copies of the Book of Mormon that I had been working on. In total, there were about twenty-five to thirty different languages in the collection. After working my way through those, I started the cataloging process on the next box in the Gomez Collection which contained a lot of Spanish hymnals!
What I noticed early on as I was looking through them was that, although they all had the same copyright date on them, many of the hymnals contained a different amount of hymns in them. with about half of them containing 256 hymns, while the other half only had 252. Due to the discrepency, I spent some time separating them out into a few different piles according to their hymn count, printing date, and language.
As I was sorting them, I came across one particular name that stuck out to me which, after a little digging, I believe belongs to a former LDS leader and apostle, Richard G. Scott. I can’t be exactly sure at this point, but the signs point in that direction. Here is a photo of the book!
That’s it from me this week. Until next time!
