What is Doctrinal Foundation for the Annual History Program?

From the day the Church was organized, the Lord commanded his Church to keep a record.
Why do you think this keeping a history is important to the Lord?

This scripture from D&C 69 directed the Church Historian to encourage Church leaders from all around the world to send in an account of their stewardship. One of the ways that is done is through the annual history program.
