Through The Peoples of Utah Revisited, the Utah Division of State History seeks to widen the lens on Utah's history and amplify minoritized voices from Utah's past and present.
We especially wish to energize foundational research on the diverse communities of our state, embracing ethnic, racial, religious, cultural, gender, and disability-based groups across urban and rural settings.
Key areas of inquiry include:
- How have Utah's Indigenous communities evolved across space and time?
- How and when have different ethnic, racial, and cultural groups come to Utah?
- How and when have identity-based groups coalesced here?
- How have newcomers made homes and communities here?
- How have Utah's many peoples worked, built community, faced challenges, and realized successes?
