. The press is the publisher of the '' Joseph Smith Papers,'' a documentary editing project that seeks to provide scholars and researches with access to all of the original documents produced by Joseph Smith, founder of the LDS Church. When complete, the ''Joseph Smith Papers'' will contain about two dozen printed volumes, as well as online publications. The press was also intended to publish other LDS Church documentary histories, such as the significant journals of 19th-century Apostle George Q. Cannon (the first volume was already published by Deseret Book in 1999). In April 2016, this project was instead launched as a searchable website for ''The Journal of George Q. Cannon'', with plans to provide nearly all the journals online and save years in what would be required for print publication. Also in 2016, the CH Press began publication of historic papers of the Relief Society. The CH Press website was launched on February 2, 2016.
