Supplemental resources

GREAT NEWS... Marriott Library elinks go to ALL county histories... news from Barbara Cox, friendly helpful librarian... most are, she's extra:

We do host online copies of all these county histories for Utah State History Div on our server.

The link the student gives ... (Aaron... extra credit... )... is correct.  http://content.lib.utah.edu/cdm4/browse.php?CISOROOT=/USHSArchPub
Click on the title of the volume you want. The table of contents is on the left. Click the chapter you want and page through it using arrow keys on toolbar above text. (The keys are down keys which is a bit confusing since most e-books / article PDFs show arrows pointing backwards and forwards side to side--I suspect this is because many of things in the servers' collections are single photos rather than books and the convention became established for them).

  We hope to soon have a new library interface which will search both our catalog and the metadata for this large collection of digital objects. I'm carboning one of the experts on that so she is aware that finding these volumes more easily would help your class.

LINK to UofU Marriott Library Reserve Desk. For information about each of Utah's counties. Utah Centennial History Series. Go to the reserve desk for the CD with all the histories on it; or to special collections; or check out the book hard copy. Here's an example for Summit County: Hampshire, David, Martha Sonntag Bradley, and Allen Roberts (1998), A History of Summit County. Salt Lake City, UT: Utah State Historical Society, 377 p.

From Pam Perlich, for demographic information about Salt Lake City: These are Census 2000 neighborhood profiles I developed for Salt Lake City (Neil Olson’s office): http://www.slc-gov.com/info/area_info/census/tract.htm  Click on the tract numbers to the left, and you get a 58 page data profile. You can get to this page also by starting here:   http://www.slc-gov.com/info/area_info/census/censusmain.htm and clicking on “By Census Tract Number.”

Census geography (what is a tract???)  See page 25 of this document: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/glossry2.pdf
