The David Cornelius Hess autobiography and diary [photocopy] discuss his experiences while serving on three separate missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Hess was called to serve missions to the southern states (1895 and 1930) and to San Francisco, California (1929).

The Madeline R. McQuown papers (1803-1976) contain some of McQuown's research and works. While the collection does contain some of McQuown's more personal works, such as some of her poetry, the collection deals mainly with her research. Her research was focused on Brigham Young and the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the LDS Church).
