Governors of Utah Digital Collection

The Governor is the chief administrative officer of the state and the sole official entity of communication between the government of this state and the government of any other state and of the United States. As a result, Governors' papers are a valuable historical resource. They are biographical accounts of a Governor's term and a chronicle of statewide and national events. They shed light on Utah's involvement in and reaction to national issues and problems specific to Utah, with events and responses during the time of interest. In short, these series record Utah's history within the state and nation.

As such, the Utah State Archives is pleased to announce its new Governors of Utah Digital Collections. The Archives’ Governors Digital Collections contains more than 39,000 images from the records of former Governors Michael O. Leavitt and Olene Walker.

By providing online access, the Archives participates in what the National Archives calls “Archives without walls.” Online resources provide access worldwide, giving patrons the ability to research any time, anywhere. This will be an invaluable resource to Utah history researchers, to educators and students, and to others interested in Utah government and history. The Archives is pleased to unveil its Governors of Utah Digital Collections in service and access to government records.
