(Redirected from Contributor)
'''The Contributor''' was an independent publication associated with the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints between 1879 and 1896. It was a monthly periodical and sought to represent the Young Men's and Young Ladies' Mutual Improvement Associations, the youth organizations of the LDS Church at the time. It was founded by Junius F. Wells, the inaugural head of the YMMIA.
''The Contributor'' ceased publication in 1896 and was not immediately replaced. The ''Young Woman's Journal'' had begun publication in 1889 and it replaced ''The Contributor'' for the YLMIA in all but name. However, to provide an official replacement for ''The Contributor'' that would cater to both young men and young women, YMMIA and YLMIA began publication of the ''Improvement Era'' in 1897.
