Audio Visual Archives collections
Published by:
The Audio-Visual Archive is home to moving images and sounds that document the history of Utah and the West. Predominantly original and unique and often unpublished, these time-based media collections offer the opportunity to hear the voices of the past and see historic scenes and artistic visions come to life. Audio and video items often relate directly to collections in the Manuscript and Photograph Archives and encompass a variety of subjects including University of Utah history and sports, home movies, independent film, oral histories, politics, outdoor recreation, music, dance, and news. Originally recorded on a wide array of modern and historic formats, these materials are being digitized so that users can access them online and in the Special Collections Reading Room.
