Nearly every day I hear from people who have questions about various LDS topics, especially Church history and the origin and setting of the Book of Mormon.
Rarely do people ask a question I haven't addressed, but they don't know where to look.

Eventually we'll get all the material organized at the Museum of the Book of Mormon (mobom.org), but for now here are some quick references. The goal, as always, is to eliminate contention by pursuing clarity, charity and understanding, recognizing that when answers are unclear, there are multiple working hypotheses that we can all learn from as we make informed decisions.
Questions about LDS Historical narratives.
See https://www.ldshistoricalnarratives.com/, including the pages. You can use the search box to find relevant material in the posts.
Questions about the origin and setting of the Book of Mormon.
Overall, see https://www.mobom.org/church-history-issues
For North American setting, see https://www.lettervii.com/
For M2C (Mesoamerican/two-Cumorahs) setting, there are two main sites.
- problems with M2C: https://www.bookofmormoncentralamerica.com/
- promoting M2C: https://bookofmormoncentral.org/
Note: I wish I could refer people to Scripture Central/Book of Mormon Central, which has spent millions of dollars creating an extensive website with hundreds of essays (Kno-Whys) on various topics. However, the management of Scripture Central insists on promoting SITH and M2C, and that bias infects the content so deeply that the site is untrustworthy. Scripture Central refuses to follow basic academic standards to avoid bias and promote clarity, charity and understanding. Instead, the management of Scripture Central seeks to divide Latter-day Saints along ideological lines.
