Content DescriptionReturn to Top

The Heber Grant Ivins family photographs collection is made up of donations from several family members brought together under a single collection. The primary subject matter is LDS mission work of the Ivins: Stanley, Anthony, Antoine, and Heber Grant in Japan, Mexico, and the Pacific Islands. However, a great deal of portraits are included and seem to be of mission associations and/or friends and family. Also included are photographs and a photo album of life and various portraits of football players and other atheletes at the University of Utah during the early 20th century. Oversize box contains a photo album from the Japan mission and two large group portraits.
