Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought - Digital Archive

Digital Archive

In collaboration with the University of Utah's J. Willard Marriott Library, in 2004 the archive of past Dialogue issues (1966 to date) was digitally scanned. The library's Special Collections now hosts the digital archive in pdf and text-searchable form. This digital collection is also mirrored on the Dialogue website. At the 2005 annual conference of the Association for Mormon Letters ("AML"), the AML presented a "Special Award in Mormon Literary Studies" with this citation:

Since its inception in 1966, Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought has served as a central point for academic studies of Mormonism. Dialogue has promoted Mormon arts and letters by publishing hundreds of poems, short stories, personal essays, and articles of criticism. However, like many periodicals, Dialogue's treasures have generally remained only as accessible as the most recent issue or two. ...Nearly 40 years of back issues-the entire run of this seminal periodical for Mormon studies-have now been completely digitized and made accessible to the public free of charge...This collection would not be as valuable or secure for future generations were it not hosted by an academic institution committed to maintaining the accessibility and permanence of this collection. The Association for Mormon Letters commends the J. Willard Marriott Library of the University of Utah for providing a permanent home to this vital digital collection, and by extension, for the university's commitment to the sustained and critical assessment of Mormon arts and letters.
