Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Born in 1911 to Joseph Stras Peery and Julina Clarissa Smith, Dr. Joseph Smith Peery pursued a long life of travel and study. He received his undergraduate at the University of Utah with honors, followed by his doctorate from Northwestern University. From 1974-1976, he was the Dean of the College of Business at the University of Utah. He was a professor of finance and economics, earning multiple awards like the Brady Superior Teaching Award in 1992. His work as a businessman began early on when he opened his own store, Seagull Drug, when he was 26. Over the years, he was a strong force in the business world including establishing an MBA program with the United States Air Force in Europe.
Peery was one of 9 children to Joseph Stras Peery. He had six sisters, Luacine, Julina, Elizabeth or Betty, Margaret, Nancy, and Jeanne. He had two brothers David and Paul. Many of the siblings can be seen together at varying ages in the first 8 parts of this finding aide along with his father, mother, and then stepmother years after Joseph Smith Peery's mother's death. The later films show Fern, Joseph's wife and mother of Teri and Tana. There is also footage of Peery's son as well as Fern's sons from previous marriages. Mainly the footage is of family gatherings and trips with his daughters, Teri and Tana.
Beyond his academic life, Peery spent a lot of time traveling. He was one of the first men to run the middle fork of the Salmon River. Many of the films in this collection include footage from around the world as he traveled first as a young man, and then later with Tana and Teri as well as his wife Fern. From New York in the 1930s to London in the 1960s, Peery documented all of these momentous events in his life which are now this collection of audio and visual works.
