The Church Historian's Press is an imprint dedicated to publishing scholarly works about the origin, history, and growth of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). It is owned by the LDS Church and operated under the direction of the Church Historian and Recorder.[1]

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.[1] When complete, the Joseph Smith Papers will contain about two dozen printed volumes, as well as online publications.[2]

The press was also intended to publish other LDS Church documentary histories,[3] such as the significant journals of 19th-century Apostle George Q. Cannon (the first volume was already published by Deseret Book in 1999).[4] 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.[5] Also in 2016, the CH Press began publication of historic papers of the Relief Society.[6]

The CH Press website was launched on February 2, 2016.
