Our next lecture is on Wednesday, November 12, at 7pm at the Logan Library (285 N Main)!
“Utah Family and Material Culture” will be presented by Molly Cannon, as part of the Utah Historical Society‘s Perspectives Speaker Series. How have everyday objects and cherished family memories become our most powerful link to Utah’s World War II experience? This interactive lecture, featuring object stories from the “Bringing War Home” project archive, goes beyond textbooks to show how personal artifacts can act as time capsules. We’ll explore how these tangible items, paired with the stories passed down through generations, shape our understanding of how ordinary Utahns faced extraordinary challenges. Join us to see how memory is preserved, not just in history books, but in the things we hold most dear.
