Page "Doctrine and Covenants" Paragraph 6

On September 24, 1834 a committee was appointed by the general assembly of the church to organize a new volume containing the most significant Latter Day Saint revelations.

This committee of Presiding Elders, consisting of Joseph Smith, Jr., Oliver Cowdery, Sidney Rigdon, and Frederick G. Williams, began to review and revise numerous revelations for inclusion in the new work.

The committee eventually organized the book into two parts: a " Doctrine " part followed by a " Covenants " part.
