The Utah State Historical Society, founded in 1897, encourages the research, study, and publication of Utah history. From its modest beginnings, the Utah Historical Society has grown to several hundred members, developed a research collection of more than a million items, published more than 300 issues of the Utah Historical Quarterly, led the historic preservation movement in Utah for nearly fifty years, created energetic antiquities and museums programs, and more. The Utah Historical Society is temporarily housed at 3760 South Highland Dr., Millcreek, UT 84106. Our Library and Collection section has moved to a temporary location, 7292 S. State Street, Midvale, UT.

At the Utah Historical Society, we work to strengthen Utah’s economic health, particularly in rural areas. Make communities better places, where people feel at home and grounded in heritage. Foster individual learning, understanding, and excitement about their heritage. Preserve knowledge and resources for future generations. State History provides all services and information as a non-regulatory, business-friendly agency.

The Utah Historical Society collects materials related to the history of Utah, assists communities, agencies, building owners, and consultants with historical resources, administers the ancient human remains program, makes historical resources available in a specialized research library, offers extensive online resources and grants, and assists in public policy and the promotion of Utah's rich history.

In 2023, the Utah Historical Society (formerly Utah Division of State History) announced its new brand identity. This new design fulfills UHS' strategic goals of providing a new visual direction for the Historical Society — honoring the organization's past while looking ahead to its bright future. Throughout these changes, the UHS mission remains the same: to foster curiosity about the past, inform the present, and strengthen our shared future.
