Library Services Grant Helps Preserve Part of Utah’s Photographic History

The Utah State Historical Records Advisory Board awarded a Utah State Historical Records Advisory Board grant to Salt Lake Community College Library Services. USHRAB officials said in a statement that they are “excited” to be partnering with SLCC for the digitization of historical photographs from the College’s physical archives as part of a larger effort in preserving Utah’s history.

“We are excited that this project will highlight interesting subjects from the physical archives and make them available to a broader audience,” said Jen Hughes, librarian at SLCC’s Markosian Library.


The $2,000 USHRAB grant, which runs through June 22, 2018 will fund efforts to digitize approximately 800 photographs documenting SLCC’s past, including convocations, presidential inaugurations, club activities and instructional program activities. The photographs range from the mid-1950s through the mid-1990s. Markosian staff will upload all digitized images into its online repository, create an online exhibit and add key digital images to the College’s history-interactive timeline. The Library’s Digital Archives staff maintains the SLCC Historical Interactive Timeline, which can be found by clicking here.

SLCC Business School is Utah’s First to be Named Exclusively After a Woman

Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) proudly announces a partnership with the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation to modernize its Business Building and transform its School of Business. The improvements are made possible through a generous $10 million gift from the Miller Family Foundation and Gail Miller, the largest-ever single cash donation received by the college.  SLCC is renaming its Business Building the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Business Building in honor of the Miller family’s legacy and contributions to the community. The business school will be named the Gail Miller School of Business in recognition of the strong business acumen Gail Miller displays as a community leader and as the owner and immediate past chair of the Larry H. Miller Company. This name change will make SLCC home to the only business school in Utah and one of only a few in the country to be named exclusively after a woman.  “We are deeply humbled by the generosity of Gail and the Miller fam
