Utah Valley University Historic Photographs
The Utah Valley University Historic Photographs collection consists of digital photographs that document various activities, courses, and people affiliated with the school, and cover from 1942 through the 1990s. The photographs were already scanned and on discs when they were donated to the George Sutherland Archives, and are scanned at various levels of quality. Some of the images duplicate those found in the Wilson W. Sorensen Photograph Collection, but most of them are not found elsewhere, making them a unique source of information about the earlier years of UVU.

J. Clayton Tullis Utah State Capitol Collection
The J. Clayton Tullis Utah State Capitol Collection began when the donor, Mr. Tullis, volunteered as a tour guide at the Utah State Capitol. Mr. Tullis has been interested in the Utah State Capitol building for many years and began to collect anything relating to the capitol building, its history, construction, and the people who played a role in its development and construction.
The collection currently consists of vintage postcards from the early twentieth century and a lithograph of the capitol building from the Governor's Office, commissioned to commemorate the Utah Centennial in 1996.
The collection is still growing and Mr. Tullis continues to look for new materials to add to it.
