Archival Collections
Archival Collections are unique historic resources, rich in information. The Emery County Archives accessions and maintains archival materials as part of its permanent collection. These materials are available to researchers for use on a supervised basis.
Using the Archives
The letters, receipts. postcards, brochures, ledgers, and other records that make up the collections housed at the Emery County Archives are not readily available elsewhere and are thus, some of the most important research tools the Research Library has to offer.
Research Library Hours are 12:00 to 5:00 pm Tuesday - Thursday. Please email your research requests to [email protected]
Let us do the Research for You. The first half hour is free! ($25/hour after)
Permission to Examine
- Use of the material by researchers is subject to approval
- Some collections may have access restrictions due to agreements with donors, copyright issues, or applicable legal restrictions on personal information. Researchers will be informed when such restrictions exist.
- As with other uses of the Research Library, appointments are strongly encouraged. Please request an appointment online, email, or call 435.381.3563 to set up a time for your visit.
Protection of Materials
- Only Research Library staff are allowed access to the archives storage areas. Researchers may not pull their own material.
- Browsing physical archival collections is not allowed. Before use, researchers should first browse finding aids and PastPerfect (our on-site database) catalog records to determine the exact collection, boxes, and folders they wish to examine.
- The Research Library maintains a One Box, One Folder use policy meaning a researcher may only look at one collection at a time, one box at a time removing only one folder from the box at a time.
- Laptops, pencils, and paper are allowed.
- No personal scanner. No Pens. No food or drink.
- Some collections contain very fragile material. Archival gloves will be provided for safe handling.
Browse Finding Aids
Finding aids are research tools that outline and describe what an individual collection contains. They include biographical information on the person, families, or companies who originated the records as well as box and folder lists of the contents. If you are interested in using any of our collections for your research, please review the finding aid and discuss your project interest with Research Coordinator, Suzanne Anderson via telephone or email at 435-381-3563 or in person with an appointment.
As the Emery County Archives continues to process and catalog collections, this list will be updated.
