Preserving the Past and making it Accessible to the Public for the Present and the Future.
The Emery County Archives is the San Rafael area's repository of special collections and archives, including a rare books library and extensive photo collection. We are an important repository for donations of family, organization, and agency documents and artifacts to be a major resource for research and documentation of the history, life, and culture of the people of the Castle Valley Region.
The Archives is open to the public Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from Noon until 5:00 p.m. Phone: 435-381-3563
