About This Website
I Love History was created to provide learning resources for young people, teachers, and anyone interested in Utah's past. In supporting students and teachers engaged in Utah history, the website seeks to encourage:
- An understanding of how past actions and events affect the present.
- Critical thinking.
- Greater understanding and respect for all peoples.
- A vision of possibilities, and a motivation to contribute to the unfolding story.
Contributors to the site include Alycia Aldrich, Heidi Orchard, and Kristen Rogers-Iversen, staff; and Anna Thompson and Rebecca Andersen. The site draws from publications that State History has contributed to or produced, including the Utah Historical Quarterly, the Utah History Encyclopedia, Beehive History, Currents, the Centennial County History Series, and A History of Utah's American Indians, as well as collections held by State History. Unless otherwise noted, all photographs are from State History collections.
This website is a work in progress; we welcome input. Contact Alycia Aldrich with your comments or suggestions.
