Welcome to the Intermountain Chapter of AHSGR. We hope that this will prove to be an effective way to share information and communicate with each other. This is designed to help us in our effort to research and celebrate our common heritage.

From the Salt Lake Tribune
Historians Seeking Utah Law Enforcement Memorabilia
State historians are launching an effort to collect law enforcement memorabilia Utahans
might have stored away.
It’s important to save our law enforcement history because its something being lost
every second,” said Melissa Coy Ferguson, the manuscripts curator with the Utah State
Historical Society.
She said many law enforcement journals, booking documents or other old items of
interest are often tossed because people or agencies don’t know what else to do with them.
Some are tucked away in attics or garages.
Several families do not understand what they have.
Any items donated will be stored and protected for future generations. Everything will
be available to the public upon request to study or look at in the state archives.
The Salt Lake City police and fire departments are also looking for any historical items
involving people who served in either agency so they can be displayed in a museum to be
housed in the new Public Safety Building slated to open in 2013.
It is hard to part with your family’s memorabilia. Those with donations are asked to call
the Salt Lake City police at 801-799-3000 and ask for Mike Ross.
Anyone with any other items to donate to the state are asked to call Melissa Coy
Ferguson at 801-533-3550.
Remember to protect those items of historical value and consider donating to a
worthy cause when the time comes. Ensure the items are protected properly at
all times. What items are stored in your attic or garage that could be shared?
Always be aware of what items are in your possession; ensure they are itemized.
