The purpose of this study was to investigate the management policies of the Springville High School Museum of Art, and to arrive at an estimate of their effectiveness by means of a comparative analysis with fundamental elements of generally accepted good museum management.Materials from the booklet, So You Want a Good Museum by Carl E. Guthe, were used as basic criteria for making the comparison which included investigating the following factors: (1) goals and purposes, (2) collections, (3) organization, (4) administration, and (5) activities.A survey of literature, visits to museums, and interviews with museum administrators were made to gain a knowledge of museum management. Data were acquired from these authoritative sources; as well as by investigation of the Springville Museum's premises and records, local publications, and statements made by present and former administrators, members of the Board of Trustees of the Museum's Association, and other civic authorities.

The Geography of Polynesians in UtahFrazier, Adam M. 01 January 1997 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis explores the unique history and geography of Polynesians within Utah. In particular, the historic and current migrations of Hawaiians, Samoans, and Tongans to Utah are examined, and the 1980 and 1990 distributions of Polynesians are mapped and analyzed at three scales: in the United States by state, in Utah by county, and in Salt Lake City by census tract.Historically, Polynesia's relationship with Utah has been religious, specifically of conversion to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints followed by migration to Utah. Today, however, things are changing. Nevertheless, Polynesians continue to migrate to Utah primarily for family, religion, education, and employment.Currently (1990), Utah ranks third in the continental United States with 7,181 Polynesians. Per capita, however, Utah ranks first with about 1 Polynesian per 250 persons. Furthermore, of the continental states with relatively large Polynesian populations (California, Washington, Utah, and Texas), Utah ranks second with over 70 percent growth in its Polynesian population from 1980 to 1990. Indeed, although different Polynesian ethnic groups tend to settle in different areas of Utah, Salt Lake City remains the locus of Polynesian immigration to Utah, particularly for Tongans.

Causes of the Mormon Boycott Against Gentile Merchants in 1866 and 1868Garff, Peter Neil 01 January 1971 (has links) (PDF)
In the 1850s and 1860s Gentiles monopolized the mercantile profession in Salt Lake valley. Conflict arose between the Mormons and anti-Mormon merchants for essentially five reasons: Mormon Church leaders believed merchants charged exorbitant prices, encouraged the coming of Johnston's army, falsely accused them for the "assassination" of two Salt Lake City Gentiles, supported Gentiles who were "jumping" Mormon land claims, and supported an adamantly anti-Mormon newspaper. Church leaders maintained that the motive behind these actions was essentially the destruction of their church; therefore, they levied a boycott against the anti-Mormon merchants in 1866.Because Church leaders felt the coming of the railroad would bring more Gentiles to Utah to fight against the Saints and because the merchants persisted in supporting an anti-Mormon press, Church leaders expanded the boycott in 1868 to include all Gentile merchants.The boycott was effective until Mormon patriotic support for the boycott wained and Gentile prices dropped. The boycott was officially lifted in 1882.

Concepts in American Local History: Community in Winder, IdahoGoodwin, Lorine S. 01 January 1981 (has links) (PDF)
Recently the need for a more clearly defined structural basis for American local history has become acute. Concepts used in national history often fall short of the needs of local history. As a result, both professionals and amateurs are producing a rash of community histories without the benefit of adequate guidelines.This thesis draws together a number of concepts useful in the development of American local history as a viable academic field of study. It tests these concepts in presenting the history of community in Winder, a small, rural population set in southeastern Idaho.

Functional Problems and Informational Needs of Latter-Day Saint Chaplains Serving in the United States Armed ForcesGriffeth, N. Vernon 01 January 1976 (has links) (PDF)
The purpose of this study was to identify the functional problems and informational needs of LDS chaplains and bring together official Church statements in relation to them. A list of these needs was obtained by use of interviews and questionnaires from chaplains who have served since the Korean War. Information was also gathered from Military Relations Department files of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.Research revealed that many Church statements, pertaining to functional problems and informational needs, were in existence but were not always easily accessible or did not adequately answer specific questions. It was also found that, collectively, chaplains could clearly separate the subjects as to degree of need for access to a statement, but individually there was a marked difference of opinion.It was concluded that a need for a handbook existed and that the problems and needs identified in this study be considered, should the Church deem it appropriate to assemble such a handbook.

The Wasatch Front in 1869: A Geographical DescriptionGriffin, Rodney Dale 01 January 1965 (has links) (PDF)
This study is a geographical description of a specific area at a particular point in history. The year 1869 was chosen for the study of the Wasatch Front because it is a datum point; something to work from. Following the completion of the transcontinental railroad at Promontory, Utah, on May 10, 1869, the typically Mormon society at the Wasatch Front oasis began to be more rapidly integrated to the cultural and economic influences from the East. A geographic study of this area in 1869 focuses attention on the nature of the Mormon civilization and more fully illuminates the effect of progress on the area.

Sex, Sickness and Statehood: The Influence of Victorian Medical Opinion on Self-Government in UtahGrover-Swank, E. Victoria 01 January 1980 (has links) (PDF)
In the struggle for self-government which occupied the Mormon population of Utah between their entry into the Great Basin in 1847 and statehood in 1896, the issue of polygamy dominated public discussion. The non-Mormon population of the United States generally objected to the practice of polygamy, in large part because of Victorian attitudes towards sexual activity and the presumed physical and mental results of violating Victorian sexual norms. It was assumed by most Americans that polygamy, by violating those norms, caused real physical damage to the Latter-day Saints in Utah; damage that disqualified them from holding full and equal political rights with their fellow citizens.

Church, its teachings, and contacts with Church authorities, and (4) gaining insights which might provide a basis for later investigation.
