The Utah State Historical Society has been around since 1897.
Since then, it has been the leader in preserving Utah's history.
Today, the Historical Society is part of Utah State History.
We publish the venerable Utah Historical Quarterly and make it available to members. We also assist and partner with a variety of stakeholders to make history vital, relevant, and impactful.
We invite you to join the Utah State Historical Society and become part of this long and valuable tradition.
