Virtual Historian - History

We love history. But we don't want to hear just a few random anecdotal stories or interesting statistics. We want a complete understanding. We want to experience the places where history happened. We want to know the factors that motivated major events. We want to know the background of the people involved.

But we are lazy. If we are to get all of this information about the Doctrine & Covenants by using traditional tools we would have to have scriptures, multiple historical volumes, biographies, maps, timelines, as well as videos and photographs of the locations. Our study table would be a mess. Looking up information to understand the context of one book would send us on chases through multiple volumes and resources.

This is fine for hardcore academics but we believe there is a better way to cram all of that knowledge into the head of the average person. Virtual Historian is your personal research assistant. By instantly providing context on any section you are studying it allows you to understand the history of the D&C more completely and more quickly than ever before possible.

Scriptures

Each section as well as the two Official Declarations are contained in the program. Right alongside each section is historical commentary on that section. You never have to go searching through another resource. You can always see the history right alongside the scripture.

Media Viewer

Virtual Historian: Doctrine & Covenants has over 100 Virtual Reality Photographs. But we don't just provide you with a cutting edge multimedia experience. Each location has historical background telling you why the location is important and where it fits into Church History.

Timeline

Right alongside all of these resources is the Timeline. One click of a button will jump the timeline to when the section you are studying was received. Instantly you can see the historical context of the current section. Timeline events are linked to biographies, locations and scriptures so that additional information is just one click away.
