The John Whitmer Historical Association (JWHA) is an independent, nonprofit[1][3] organization promoting study, research, and publishing about the history and culture of the Latter Day Saint movement. It is especially focused on the Community of Christ (formerly known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or RLDS Church), other midwestern Restoration traditions, and early Mormonism.[4][5][6][7][8][9] The Community of Christ's approach to its own history was influenced, in part, by historical problems raised and explored through JWHA publications and conferences, and those of its sister organization, the Mormon History Association. JWHA membership numbers around 400[1][5][10] and is open to all, fostering cooperation with LDS and non-Mormon scholars.[9][11]
