Why We're Commanded to Create Ward and Stake Annual Histories

As a new year begins, wards and branches should be preparing their annual histories and submitting them to the stake, district, or mission.

What is an annual history?

Each year, every ward, branch, stake, mission, and district in the world is to prepare and submit a written history to fulfill the Lord’s mandate to “continue in writing and making a history of all the important things…concerning my church,” (D&C 69:3).
