J.R. Hunter started the Box Elder County News in April 1894. He served as the paper’s editor and publisher. His wife Edith B. Hunter became associate editor on September 12, 1896. In 1898 Charles Pasco and Hyrum Standing succeeded the Hunters in running the newspaper. They dropped “county” from the newspaper’s masthead and it became known as the Box Elder News. Brigham City was home to two newspapers for a time when the Box Elder Report began its weekly publication in 1901; however, it ceased operations in 1908. This digital collection of newspapers from Box Elder County spans the years from 1901 to 1908. It features issues from the Box Elder Report between 1901-1904 and 1908 as well as from the Box Elder News between 1902 to 1905. These issues were digitized by Utah State University from microfilms housed at the Brigham City Museum of Art & History, and the microfilms were made from bound volumes that still reside at the Museum. Funding for the digitization of these materials was provided, in part, by a grant from the Utah State Historical Records Advisory Board (USHRAB) and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC).

The Cache Daughters of Utah Pioneers (DUP) Museum (which operates under the direction of the International Society Daughters of Utah Pioneers) honors the pioneers who came to Utah and settled Cache Valley before 1869. It is the museum’s mission to honor that legacy by sharing the artifacts, histories, and photos of those pioneers. The portraits in this digital collection represent pioneers from around the world who came to Utah, as well as other notable members of the community. The portraits depict early settlers of Cache Valley, Utah; prominent business leaders in Cache County; and early leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They also depict community organizations in Cache Valley, including local bands, fire departments, the Cache Stake/Logan Tabernacle Choir, and Logan Utah Temple workers. The histories in this collection were provided by members of the DUP in Cache Valley beginning in the 1920s. Local DUP members submitted the histories of their ancestors to the local camps that forwarded them to the Cache DUP Museum. According to International Society of Daughters of Utah Pioneers’ policy, these histories are only for personal use and are not to be reproduced or distributed on other websites.

This collection contains 100 grooved discs of KVNU commercials, political announcements, and local radio programs relating to Cache Valley and Utah.

The Logan Public Library has spent considerable amount of time collecting images related to the architectural landscape of the city over time. We are proud to offer a collection of some of these photographs combined with other materials related to the history of Logan, Utah.
