  • We have physical copies of most items in our collections.

  • All archive items are located at the Lehi Historical Society at 99 W. Main St. STE 100 Lehi, UT 84043

  • The Lehi Historical Society increases its collections every week as those who appreciate Lehi history donate scrapbooks, ledgers, documents, photographs, yearbooks, family histories, uniforms, programs and the like. Many donations come after a loved one has died and the family does not know what to do with their treasures. Historic items are also found at the workplace, church, club, school and so forth. Such items are also frequently donated. Historical Society members also seek out items to preserve.

  • Historical Society members, interns and service missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints work together to obtain, organize, record, properly house and create finding aids for our collections. They also create metadata and scan and upload photos to our public portal. In these processes, all items are recorded in our collections management system, which creates an online library where the public can browse what we have and find items and collections by keyword.

  • The Lehi Historical Society strives to preserve all items to archive standards, namely with archive boxes and bins. These materials provide protection from moisture, dust, sunlight and rodents. The historical society has won three major grants to provide such materials. In 2019, the society won funding from the Utah State Records and Advisory Board to digitize and house its newspaper collection in archive boxes. In 2022, Lehi’s PARC Program funded library shelving for our books, and in 2023, PARC funded two computers, 47 archive boxes and two archive map bins. These funds help to ensure all preservation efforts made today will be beneficial for many years to come.
