Bibliography
The research for this biography drew upon many unpublished documents, along with published books, newspaper and magazine articles, and other materials. To simplify documentation while also accurately identifying where source materials can be found, source notes briefly describe the relevant source but should be read in conjunction with this statement. Unpublished sources are listed with their present locations; published works are listed in full, allowing identification in the notes with brief author-title references.
The archives of the Family and Church History Department, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah, contain most of the unpublished material. Gordon Irving of that department recorded eighteen interviews between November 1999 and May 2000, referenced in the notes as NAM-Irving oral history. Eight additional interviews recorded between June 1976 and March 1977 by James B. Allen are cited as NAM-Allen oral history, Kenneth W. Baldridge's August 1981 interview is referenced as NAM-Baldridge oral history, and an interview recorded on videotape in August 1991 by Brian D. Reeves is cited as NAM-Reeves oral history. The transcript of a September 1979 audiotape recorded for Mary Lu E. Judd's Sunday School class in a Salt Lake City ward is cited as NAM-Judd dictation.
In 1999 and 2000 Gordon Irving also conducted oral history interviews with Orval W. "Web" Adams Jr., Edith H. Bronson, Monte J. Brough, John K. Carmack, Joe J. Christensen, Henry B. and Kathleen J. Eyring, James E. Faust, Elizabeth M. Haglund, Gordon B. Hinckley, Jeffrey R. Holland, James S. Jardine, Marlin K. Jensen, Cory H. Maxwell, Karen B. Maxwell, Oscar W. McConkie Jr., Thomas S. Monson, Alexander B. Morrison, Dallin H. Oaks, Boyd K. Packer, Douglas H. and Corene C. Parker, Roger B. Porter, Cecil O. Samuelson Jr., H. E. "Bud" Scruggs Jr., and John W. Welch. Transcripts of all these interviews are on file in the Church Archives. The Haglund, Jardine, McConkie, Oaks, Parker, Porter, and Samuelson transcripts are accompanied by copies of letters and other written reminiscences that they supplied. The Maxwell children oral history includes transcripts of interviews Cory H. Maxwell recorded early in 2000 with his sisters and their respective husbands Rebecca M. and Michael B. Ahlander, Nancy M. and Mark L. Anderson, and Jane M. and Marc N. Sanders.
