P0028 Southern Slavic photograph collection 1897-1947 153 photographs Southern Slavic photograph collection Collection materials are in English.

The South Slavic photograph collection consists of photographs of individuals, groups, meetings, families, events, and places associated with Utah's South Slav community. Many of these are, perforce, photographs of mines, miners, and mining scenes, since many of the South Slav community members came to Utah to work in the mines. Also included are photographs of children, weddings, funerals, stores, conventions, lodge meetings, and other subjects.

Collection is arranged topically. Addendum (consisting of 81 images) is arranged alphabetically according to the location and images are entitled "Southern Slavs Immigration."

Twenty-four hour advanced notice encouraged. Materials must be used on-site. Access to parts of this collection may be restricted under provisions of state or federal law.
