Doing Searches at BMAF

[Doug Christensen]

November, 2015

Contents of all BMAF publications are the sole responsibility of the individual authors and therefore do not necessarily represent the views of BMAF or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Searching BMAF literature

From the year 2,000 to the present, many have used material from our website and Facebook pages in their papers, articles, classes and conversations.  We have often been complimented on our Book of Mormon corpus which now exceeds 300 articles on our website (www.bmaf.org), and includes lots of You Tube videos and  our Facebook pages which have lots of comments and conversations. This literature primarily discusses Book of Mormon themes such as geography, anthropology, archaeology, linguistics and history.  Subjects such as DNA, horses, metals, warfare and much, much more have comprehensive treatment from the best, contemporary authors.

Facebook Page:

Book of Mormon Archaeological Forum News  https://www.facebook.com/groups/bmaf.org/

This site contains comments and questions concerning research and evidences regarding Book of Mormon archaeology, anthropology, geography and culture within a Mesoamerican context.  This is a very active social site with over 1400 members.  It is a closed site which means only members can post and receive comments but anyone can view the content.  Contributors include mostly well read, average people, but often include scholars, authors, professors and more.

The method to perform a search on the Facebook News site is:

1.  On the bottom/right of the top header image is a box titled "Search this group" (hard to see in this image below). 

2.  Enter a word or short combination of words and click "enter."  

Here we enter the word "Cumorah."

3.  After clicking on "enter", the search engine will create a list of all member comments.

We also maintain a non-searchable Facebook site at https://www.facebook.com/BookofMormonArchaeologicalForum/

where we post articles on a regular basis.

BMAF Website:  (www.bmaf.org)

1.  Go to the home page and scroll to the very bottom.  

2.  A search box is at bottom/right as shown below

3.  Enter your search word or phrase in the box as shown below where we entered the word "Ramah"

4.  A list of search results is shown with hot-link titles.

5.  Click on any of the titles and that article will appear.

 You can print or copy all materials on our website for your personal use.
