Utah Historical Society

**ABOUT US** SINCE 1897 The Utah Historical Society, founded in 1897, encourages the research, study, and publication of Utah history. From its modest beginnings, the Utah Historical Society has grown to several hundred members, developed a research collection of over a million items, published over 300 issues of the *Utah Historical Quarterly*, led the historic preservation movement in Utah for nearly fifty years, created energetic antiquities and museums programs, and much more. WE WORK TO... Strengthen Utah’s economic health, particularly in rural areas. Make communities better places, where people feel at home and grounded in heritage. Foster individual learning, understanding, and excitement about their heritage. Preserve knowledge and resources for future generations. State History provides all services and information as a non-regulatory, business-friendly agency.
