11. OUR HISTORY
Latter-dayVillage.com began in 2005 as a merger between two
veteran LDS websites, Primary, ETC and LDSSeminaryFiles, both
of which started in 1997 and followed similar paths as paid
membership sites for LDS teachers.
Our History
The material at LDV is a combination of both “gathered” and
original content. We have been collecting ideas from LDS
teachers and leaders around the world for 14 years. These are
tried and true ideas and files submitted by experienced teachers
“in the field.” The ideas are organized and categorized for ease
of use and represent a wealth of
scholarship, experience, creativity and time – TIME YOU WILL
SAVE – because if there is one thing we DON’T want you to do it
is to reinvent the wheel!
NEXT . . .
12. The original content is commissioned by LDV from
artists, authors, musicians, photographers and gospel
scholars/experts and is prepared especially for our Latter-
dayVillage.com members.
continued
In addition to our vast collections of archived and new
content, one of the hallmarks of Latter-dayVillage is our
seminary email group/forum, where the world is just a mouse
click away as teachers across the globe share their inspired
ideas, ask for help with current needs, counsel, commiserate and
assist one another. Do you need to find a quote you heard once
that is perfect for your upcoming lesson – ask and ye shall
receive! This is a great resource and community for many a
seminary teacher feeling isolated in the pre-dawn world.
NEXT . . .
13. We have had a mail-order store from the very beginning. In fact,
Primary, ETC was started specifically to sell the first published
book by founder, Debra Woods – Primary Scripture Search
Volume 1, Discovering the Hidden Treasures in the Scriptures.
To attract visitors, Debra put everything she had ever thought up
continued
or designed for her callings on the site so people would
appreciate her gift for creativity and buy the book. Since then,
we have sold four more Scripture Search books and many
products from other publishers and distributors – many of whom
Debra met at the annual LDS Bookseller’s Association
Convention in Salt Lake City where most LDS publishers and
manufacturers display their wares for store owners nation (and
world) wide.
NEXT . . .
14. We’ve had many different shopping carts over the years, and
now offer
books, charts, games, stories, bookmarks, stickers, keychains, je
welry, t-shirts, digital art, digital books and much more in our
secure shopping cart.

LDV has suffered the unexpected passing of our webmaster, Tim
Holder, in 2008; being hacked and shut down for a few weeks in
2010, the year of red alert emergency mode handicapped
functioning that followed, slashing our revenues by more than
half and increasing labor mani-fold.
In Spring 2011 we found a new web developer, Chris Eggleston
of www.eggbizdev.com who has made it possible for LDV to
not only carry on, but to reach all new heights with his beautiful
web redesign.
NEXT . . .
15. Some powerful business coaching and mentoring from Kim Flynn
and Gerald Rogers has been a critical part of the revitalization of
LDV.
The transition, for our faithful long-term followers, may be a bit
sticky at first – we are using completely different
continued
software/technology with a new webhost on this brand new
iteration of your old favorite website . . . but before you know it
– all the wrinkles will be ironed out and you will breathe, as will
we, a great sigh of relief and be so excited about the new format
and features of LATTER-DAY VILLAGE – THE NEXT GENERATION.
Thank you for your interest and patronage!
