The only cover sheet is for stakes and districts.

Our stake instructs us to use this cover sheet for ward histories as well. Any questions on what to use should be directed to your stake clerk who will advise what format they desire.

Hey davesudweeks. I read in previous posts that you were willing to send examples of your ward history that you compiled in the past. Could you please send me a example at sheenaburwell@gmail.com. I would appreciate a example to help me improve my format. It sounds like you have a lot of valuable experience you can share with us newbies:)

I have them at home. I will send you some this evening. They will be either msword or .pdf format. All mine have been text only. I have toyed with adding graphics and photos, but have opted for simple descriptions and data lists.

Sent. Please let me know if you have any questions. There is not a lot of "prescriptive" direction - I think that is on purpose to allow different wards and stakes to compile histories that are appropriate to their situation. Your Stake Clerk would be the one to answer specific questions of items your stake requires.

As you will see in the examples, sometimes we have more and sometimes less - usually depending on the personality of the organization leaders in what they submit (if anything) to me, as Ward Clerk, to compile. It would be great if we had a ward historian who loved to compile this information, but we have never had anyone in that calling in the 20 years we have lived in this ward.

Hi Jacquelyn, I just sent some examples. I am no longer serving as ward clerk and was not involved in compiling our 2019 ward history.

All the best!
