A new exhibit showing County documents and photographs of records
originally created for administrative, fiscal, and legal purposes are
used to illustrate that their new uses. They are now important primary
resources of information for researchers, historians, and genealogists.
Stepping forward to serve the County in a new way, records used for
tax purposes now reveal the history of a house. Commission minutes
previously serving an administrative function now can be used to renew
our connection to past events. Attorney's records created to document
legal cases now allow us to rediscover people's lives and communities.
Stop by the Salt Lake County Government Center, 2001 S. State Street, North building lobby, Salt Lake City, Utah to see the exhibit. It will be on display during the months of October and November. For more information contact: |
