Shane Baker did an extensive cataloging of Nauvoo artifacts from August 9th-13th, 2004. The Mormon Historic Sites Foundation granted approval for funding to be provided to BYU's Office of Public Archaeology to catalogue and conserve the artifacts from the original Nauvoo Temple. In addition Nauvoo Restoration Incorporated (NRI) gave permission for the study to be conducted.

The results of the project will be published in an upcoming edition of Mormon Historical Studies.
