Content Description

This collection contains the working papers and records of the Cache Valley Historical Society and spans the period of 1951 to 1962 and 1983 to 2008. These papers consist of society meeting minutes, correspondence, meeting programs, newspaper clippings, copies of papers presented to the society, bylaws and constitutions, and other similar papers.

Prior to donation, these papers were bound by the society and arranged chronologically and topically, and the collection has been arranged in reflection of this organization.

In the newspaper clippings located in the 1983-2008 materials are articles about the society meetings, society members, and events that occurred in Cache Valley and Utah. There are several newspaper clippings on the Utah Centennial in 1996.
