The Encyclopedia of Mormonism is now online at BYU.edu. This is a helpful resource with an extensive list of entries related to the beliefs, teachings, and practices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Learn more about the Encyclopedia of Mormonism at this link.
This online edition of the Encyclopedia of Mormonism is a PDF scan of the printed set of 4 volumes. It does not include volume 5 (which is the text of the scriptures) because the scriptures are available online at scriptures.lds.org. This PDF edition has been indexed so you can enter a term in a search box to find the entry. The full text cannot be searched until next year, when the full text will be put online and will be completely indexed.

Cool. Thanks for the heads up. It is bookmarked.
This is excellent news, and I’m glad there’s a link to it on LDS.org.
Since the EoM first appeared in 1990, I have hoped that it would replace older encyclopedic-style books on Mormon doctrine. Unfortunately the EoM is no longer in print, but the BYU PDF link is a great asset to the Saints’ personal gospel study.
Unfortunately, like any other book, the Encyclopedia of Mormonism contains errors, particularly in regard to history. Ken Godfrey’s segments relating to Freemasonry come immediately to mind. They not only misrepresent the nature of Freemasonry, but they contain Mormon historical inaccuracies, such as the claim that Joseph Smith only ever attended “three” lodge meetings. The available records indicate over thirty such instances.
I am dying to find a way to get these fantastic volumes(E of M) on my Palm ! Where can I get it? Thanks.
