The Utah State Historical Society encourages the research, study, and publication of Utah history.
The Utah State Historical Society was founded in 1897 by a group of prominent citizens who knew the importance of preserving the state’s history.
Later, the Historical Society became part of state government as part of Utah State History.
Today, the major responsibility of the Utah State Historical Society program is to edit and publish the venerable Utah Historical Quarterly and to make it available to members.
We invite you to join the Utah State Historical Society and become part of this long and valuable tradition.
