CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEAR'S AWARD WINNERS!
Carly Bagley, public historian, Utah Historical Society's Women's History Initiative. Carly has piloted ways to add oral histories to our scan-and-share events, interviewed rodeo queens, and supported so many of our communications efforts, such as "Among the Brine." Carly especially furthers UHS’ work by building connections to community organizations and ensuring that our programming is informed by partners’ voices.
Eliza Carr, public historian, Utah Historical Society's Women's History Initiative. While completing her Master's capstone during her UHS internship last spring, she stepped-up on very short notice to serve as the event manager coordinating Martha Hughes Cannon's statue send-off with dozens of partners and hundreds of attendees. Her creative programming ideas have made Utah Historical Society events like Member Month more meaningful and memorable for Utahns. We appreciate her proactive problem-solving across all areas of the Society and are glad to have her on our staff.
Tiffany Greene, public historian, Museum of Utah Exhibition Team. Tiffany's research contributions support the museum team’s goals to help visitors see themselves in the stories being told. For example, her research skills have helped on challenging projects like the Museum's Connecting Voices, an interactive exhibit that engages visitors in learning more about the demographics of Utah's communities through historical research, and helps advance UHS' mission and reach.
