Historical Note
The Cache Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit organization of businesses that promotes the advancement of commercial, financial,
educational, and civic interests in Cache Valley. The organization’s mission is to improve standards of living by
supporting the local economy. Utah State University preserves this collection because it illustrates specific regional issues that
the Chamber of Commerce addressed during the 1950s. The collection provides information on Cache Valley’s economic growth and desire
to expand by attracting new immigrants. It also provides insights into famous old businesses and popular entertainment in the region.
The materials in this collection have been divided into three boxes: Popular Parades and Miscellaneous Activites of the Chamber,
Cache Chamber of Commerce’s Presidents, and Cache Chamber of Commerce's Films. The Cache Chamber Collection contains a variety of
materials, primarily from the 1950s, aimed at promoting Cache Valley to tourists and businesses. It features roughly 160 unique
photographs of parades organized in the region in 1939 and 1940, and historic films designed to sponsor tourism to the valley.
The parade photographs provide insights into the region’s economy and fashion prior to World War II. The films display how the
valley was marketed to businesses and tourists during the 1950s and they also document the Chamber of Commerce's concern with
Communism at the onset of the Cold War. The collection also features various portraits of Chamber of Commerce’s presidents from
1943 to 2000.
USU Special Collections and Archives also preserves a duplicate of Box 1, Folders 3-4.
The Chamber of Commerce Photograph and Film Collection was donated by Bobbie Corey on July 25, 2001.
