Materials in English.
Mountain Fuel Supply Company began life in 1928 as the oil and gas exploration and production division of Western Public Service Corporation, a Salt Lake City holding company which served the Salt Lake Valley with natural gas from northern Utah and southwestern Wyoming. In 1935 shareholders consolidated Western Public Service Corporation into a single company called Mountain Fuel Supply Company. Shareholders returned to the holding company structure in 1984 and reorganized the company to form Questar Corporation.
The Mountain Fuel Supply Company audio-visual collection (1968-1979) consists of films promoting the use of natural gas and documenting the production and transmission of natural gas and sound recordings of speeches and interviews relating to natural gas production. The collection also contains some employee training films.
The materials are arranged by format and by the order in which they were added to the collection. Items 1-31 comprise the original collection while items 32-51 and 52-67 were accessioned in 1997 and 2002, respectively.
Audio-visual materials can be fragile and require specialized equipment to play back. For this reason, access to audio-visual materials is provided through digital copies, and it might take longer to provide access to items that are not yet digitized. Access to parts of this collection may be restricted under provisions of state or federal law, condition of the material, or by donor.
Processed by Christopher Drew in 1988.
