The reading room

Preferences

Choices made here are kept in this browser only — there are no accounts, and nothing you set leaves your device.

Appearance Auto — follow this device's light or dark setting Light — ink on paper Dark — the reading room by lamplight

Citation on copy On — passages copied from a talk carry their citation Off — copy exactly what is selected, nothing more

Short copies — a phrase, a name — always pass through untouched.

Citation format Pulpit — the house form printed in each talk's colophon Chicago · Turabian — note form (Turabian is Chicago's student edition; the note is the same) MLA — works-cited entry

Every form names the edition date, so a citation always refers to a reproducible state of the text.

Source link Include the link — citations carry a paragraph-anchored URL Omit the link — for print footnotes and bibliographies

Script Latin — the ordinary reading text Deseret Alphabet — every talk's English rendered in the 38-letter Deseret script Both — Deseret above, Latin below, on the same page

A projection of the vault's own English text, generated by rule and lexicon — not a translation, and not present for every era yet. A talk without a Deseret rendering simply shows the ordinary text.
