This collection contains a 700 page listing of dissertations written on the subjects of Mormons, Mormonism, and Utah completed by 1986. The collection is not in alphabetical order.

This collection was gifted to Weber State University Special Collections in 1999 by the Stewart Family following the death of Elizabeth in 1996. The collection contains most memorabilia items from Donnell and Elizabeth such as certificates, plaques, and scrapbooks. Four family albums were disassembled to preserve the photographs but are groups together by subject.
