I would like to see the history report simplified like the other reports. The format of the membership council is an example. It could have a box with a word limit for each part. Also, a place to attach the ward conference form. Adding photos of events would be another section. I love how the softwa...

As a former ward and stake clerk, I was frustrated that we were still using paper for the annual history. I was pushing for a simple online process ten years ago, if you look back at the beginning of this thread. Who else would like to have this added to LCR, so the flow from a ward organization lea...

I agree that including photos involves some risk. Maybe adding a reference somewhere in the annual history to the stake or ward Facebook page would allow the reader a way to access photos without including them. After serving nine years as a stake clerk, I appreciate all of the changes that have mad...

It might be time to change the policy on getting permission slips. I see a lot of photos online and in church magazines and the Church News of large groups of members and nonmembers. I doubt they have everyone sign a slip

Having members share photos on a stake or ward Facebook page is a great idea. We started a stake page a few months ago. Would you need permission to include photos from there, since they are already published in the public domain?

I started a stake Facebook page where members can post photos of events. I think this may help with the annual history, if I want to include some of them. I don’t know if you would still need to get permission to use photos if they are already in the public domain

I noticed that you omitted adding photos, which I think are an important part of the annual history. I am careful about adding photos of children, however, since you should ask parents for permission first. As a stake clerk, I recently sent out an email asking the wards to submit their history all o...

I would like to speak with someone in that department about the whole process and how it could be simplified

Form could also be added at that point or submitted right after the meeting

Sounds interesting. I may not still be involved in this next year, but would like to see the whole process simplified for wards and stakes. The ideal method would be to have an app in LCR where ward clerks submit their documents to the stake for review, before it is submitted to the Historical Depar...
