Summary of Records

This series contains color photographic negatives and photographic prints taken by Division staff to document work done at the State Capitol and events that took place there.

There are also photos of signage at the University of Utah and Utah Technical College in Orem, various views of the Capitol and grounds, installation of a Christmas tree in the rotunda, and views of the inauguration of Governor Matheson in 1981.
